Hi there, I'm Monique!

I believe therapy has the potential to give us the power and tools to build the life we want for ourselves. Together we explore the past, present relationships and experiences that influence our thoughts and actions. As your therapist, I guide you through life obstacles, past trauma, negative thoughts that hinder progress and undermine your confidence.

My approach

I offer a safe nonjudgmental space to explore your world and mindset. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) which is evidence-based psychotherapy recognized to help recover from trauma, grief, anxiety, and other disorders. I also incorporate Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Solution Focus Therapy, Mindfulness, and Motivational Therapy.

My focus

I work with adult individuals who have experienced trauma, difficulty grieving, anxiety, work stress, recent loss, family stress, and feeling stuck in life.

My communication style

I believe people need to feel safe in therapy so I strive to create a space that is open, impartial, and receptive. I want my clients to feel supported with life challenges, empowered to overcome obstacles, and confident to share thoughts and emotions freely without prejudice or judgment.

My journey to mental healthcare

I truly enjoy sharing the journey to help people create the life they want and envision. I take pleasure in being the guide to change and watching people transform.
