Hi there, I'm Monica!

I am a bilingual therapist and a 1st-gen daughter of immigrants. I understand how isolating and overwhelming it can feel to begin your therapy journey and how important it is to have the right support. My own healing journey shapes my work and allows me to provide a warm, empathetic, and non-judgmental space for you.

My focus

I support people who have experienced trauma, stress, anxiety, and/or depression. I enjoy supporting people who want to take the next step in their lives but feel stuck and unsure of how to do so. Together, we create a supportive space where you can heal at your own pace, strengthen your self-trust, and step into a more aligned version of yourself.

My approach

My approach is collaborative, grounded, and deeply trauma-informed. I combine evidence-based therapy strategies and spiritual practices to support you in healing past wounds, regulating your nervous system, and stepping into a more aligned, empowered life.
