Hi there, I'm Monica!

I am a compassionate and dedicated therapist who is passionate about helping individuals heal, grow, and reconnect with their strengths. I strive to create a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered throughout their therapeutic journey.

My focus

The “ideal” therapy client is someone who is willing to engage in the process. This can look like working with someone who is open to self-reflection and willing to explore emotions and patterns. I enjoy working with people who are curious about themselves and able to tolerate some discomfort.

My approach

My approach is trauma-informed, culturally competent, and grounded in genuine empathy. I recognize that every person’s experiences, identities, and challenges are unique, and I work collaboratively with clients to honor their personal stories, cultural backgrounds, and values. I believe healing happens within strong therapeutic relationships.
