Veronica is a Registered Psychotherapist at the Stradwick Psychology & Neurofeedback Clinic, holding a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology and an Honours Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from the University of Ottawa. Her background also includes early training in behavioural analysis, which continues to shape how she understands individuals within the context of their environment, relationships, and history.

Veronica’s approach is attachment- and trauma-informed, grounded in an understanding of the nervous system, and shaped by person-centred, parts-work-informed, and somatic approaches, alongside cognitive modalities such as ACT and DBT. She believes that the ways people learn to cope often began as ways of adapting, protecting, or getting through, and that compassionately understanding this context is where real change becomes possible. Rather than leading with any single framework, she draws on an eclectic approach to fit the person in front of her, shaped always by the relationship they build together.

Across her years of experience supporting adolescents and adults navigating anxiety, chronic stress, burnout, trauma-related patterns, and challenges rooted in early attachment experiences — as well as neurodivergent clients, parenting stress, and a limited number of younger clients aged 8-12— Veronica is committed to ongoing collaboration and meaningful connection with those she works with. She strives to cultivate a space of trust and acceptance where clients feel empowered to explore their emotions, thoughts, and experiences openly, without judgment.
