About Me

Veronica is a licensed professional graduate counselor in Washington, D.C., trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing therapy. She holds two masters degrees. One in Marriage, Couples, and Family Counseling from Regent University. The second in Human Development and Family Studies from the University of North Carolina.

Her journey to life coaching began in psychological research, where she specialized in studying and diagnosing suicidality, depression, and trauma in children and youth in the USA, Guyana, and South Africa. It was clear that the children experiencing stress, neglect, and abuse, were growing up to be adults struggling to cope with the same things. Seeing the long term effects of trauma on the person, made her want to better understand how to treat and heal and not just diagnose.

Veronica transitioned into counseling in 2021 where she began with talk therapy and coaching. However, when she was trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing therapy, she found her answer and her calling. Today Veronica specializes in using her training in mental health and faith studies to heal adults from childhood trauma, sexual abuse, complex grief, disruptive family relationships/attachments, spousal abuse/divorce, racial ad cultural trauma, and church/spiritual abuse.
