Biography: 

Veronika (she/her) is a caring and practical CMPC with a background in counselling psychology. Using a mental health lens, she emphasizes the person-first and athlete-second in counselling and performance consulting to improve overall individual and group well-being. Veronika draws on her experience as a former university athlete and youth soccer coach to inform her ongoing learning and support strategies.

Specializing mainly in team sports (soccer, basketball, volleyball, softball, baseball), Veronika has helped a number of athletes, coaches, and parents overcome barriers to feeling confident in sports contexts and recognize existing skills and strengths that move them forward in life and performance. Topics supported include performance anxiety, motivation, goal-setting and routines, athlete identity and transitions, and life/stress management.

Outside of counselling and sports psychology, Veronika likes to read, spend time with her cats and husband, stay physically active (running, pilates, and rec soccer), travel, and support local sports teams as much as possible.
