Hi there, I'm Monica!

I'm a bilingual therapist helping clients with stress, anxiety, trauma, narcissistic abuse, post-partum depression, domestic violence, immigration issues, suicidal thoughts, teenage self-harm, grief and loss, and parenting issues. I believe you are the expert of your story and have many strengths to overcome your challenges.

My focus

I specialize in individuals who have experienced trauma, particularly those recovering from emotionally abusive and narcissistic relationships. I also work with teenage girls who have experienced trauma and may struggle with self-harm, as well as women dealing with fertility struggles, miscarriage, motherhood, and identity concerns.

My approach

I'm certified in narcissistic abuse treatment and trained in EMDR, a highly effective approach for trauma. EMDR helps the brain process and release traumatic memories, allowing you to heal in a deeper and more lasting way. I combine EMDR with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness-based techniques for holistic, individualized healing.
