“The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now."
Does this sound familiar?
You often feel like there's a reason you're struggling, you just can't quite put your finger on it.
Maybe you...
Keep asking yourself, "Why am I like this?"
Notice the same conflicts, disappointments, or relationship dynamics happening over and over again.
Feel like your reactions are bigger than the situation in front of you.
Have difficulty trusting others, setting boundaries, or feeling emotionally safe.
Find yourself stuck between wanting closeness and fearing vulnerability.
Struggle to quiet your inner critic or believe you're "good enough."
Recognize that your childhood or past relationships still influence the way you think, feel, and connect with others.
Want more than coping strategies—you want to understand the root of what's keeping you stuck.
Are ready to heal, grow, and build a life that isn't dictated by your past.
Healing begins with understanding. Together, we'll connect the dots between your past and present so you can break unhelpful patterns, strengthen your relationships, and move forward with greater confidence, self-awareness, and purpose.
Hi! It’s so nice to meet you.

Veronica has worked with adolescents, adults, couples, and families, supporting clients through relationship challenges, life transitions, emotional distress, and personal growth.
Alongside her clinical work, she has a robust research background in relationships, intimacy, and family dynamics, with peer-reviewed publications and conference presentations across Canadian and international platforms.

According to the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario, Psychotherapy occurs when “the Registered Psychotherapist (RP) and client enter into a psychotherapeutic relationship where both work together to bring about positive change in the client's thinking, feeling, behaviour and social functioning”.
With this definition, it is up to you to decide what psychotherapy will look like. It can look like having a safe space to unpack uncomfortable or happy feelings, or a place to explore coping mechanisms and tools to help reach your goals. For couples and families, psychotherapy can be a place to mend broken and hurt relationships, or it can be a place where you can find peace in moving on without one another. In any case, my role remains the same — your best interest is my number one priority.

The gift of therapy is for everyone to utilize. Therapy is not a place for “broken” people, rather it is a tool you can reference to learn more about yourself, and your relationships, establish boundaries and grow towards the person you wish to be.
I often use this metaphor with my clients: you can go to the gym because you have an injury and need to repair a ruptured muscle, or you can go to the gym without having an injury but with goals to build muscle. Both are acceptable and valid reasons to go to the gym.
-
Consultations are a great way for clients and clinicians to discuss goals, approach and experience. Here are some questions you can consider before meeting for a consult:
Are you looking for a safe space to unpack things or are you looking to learn tools and coping mechanisms?
Do you prefer a more conversational style or are you looking for a more structured approach?
Do you appreciate when others challenge you? Would you be okay with your therapist challenging you?
What is your reason for attending therapy? Is it a place to learn more about yourself, to unpack things from the past, to grow and improve, to reach a particular goal? How can your therapist help you reach your goal?
Have you done therapy before? What did you like and what didn’t you like?
What would make you say therapy worked?
-
The first session is 60 minutes long and serves as an initial intake. It’s a space for us to begin building a therapeutic relationship, where I take time to deeply listen to your story, understand what’s bringing you to therapy, and explore what support might look like moving forward. I tend to take a reflective, listening-based approach in this first meeting so I can get a fuller picture of your experiences, challenges, and goals. The session is $180, as it is longer and allows for a more comprehensive assessment.
