Veronica is a dedicated and compassionate registered clinical counsellor with extensive experience in helping individuals with a variety of mental health concerns, including depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder, grief, loss, and personal growth. Utilizing a range of tools—such as individual counselling services, group accompaniment, and workshops—Veronica aims to empower individuals to discover their inner strengths, overcome obstacles, and fully exercise autonomy in their lives.
Professional Journey and Philosophy: Veronica’s lifelong quest for “living completeness and fulfillment” began when she first attended workshops on the Personality and Human Relations (PRH, Personnalité et Relations Humaines) program. This transformative experience taught her that healing and personal growth start with listening to one’s inner voice. Since then, she has dedicated her career to helping others achieve this state of self-awareness and growth.
Starting her counselling career part-time in 2007 as a family and youth counsellor, Veronica took a significant step in 2013 by leaving her full-time banking job to become a registered clinical counsellor. With a Master’s Degree in Clinical Psychology and membership in the BC Association of Clinical Counsellors (member registration #12128), she has since been dedicated to her practice.
Veronica’s approach to therapy is rooted in her belief that inner liberation and personal growth are critical to living a harmonious and fulfilling life. She has experienced the exhilarating joy and liberation that come from healing and personal development and is passionate about helping others achieve the same. Through in-depth listening to their inner aspirations and desires, Veronica assists individuals in becoming “who they are meant to be.”
Specialized Training and Services: In 2013 and 2014, Veronica received extensive training to become a trauma and anxiety specialist. She is a certified trainer of Observed Experiential Integration (OEI) and trains therapists in helping clients overcome anxiety and trauma. Additionally, she has completed Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy to further support individuals suffering from anxiety and trauma.
Currently, Veronica offers PRH workshops as a licensed educator and provides individual one-on-one accompaniment. Her goal is to help individuals heal from their depths and grow to fulfill their life’s meaning and goals.
