Hi there, I'm Monica!
I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Los Angeles, with over a decade of experience providing compassionate mental health services. My professional journey has led me to work with a diverse range of individuals, from children and adolescents to adults, and across a variety of life challenges.
My focus
My therapeutic focus includes supporting individuals navigating emotional and behavioral struggles, trauma, relationship difficulties, grief, and life transitions. I have a particular passion for helping those experiencing relationship and intimacy challenges, & I am committed to supporting clients of all identities, including the LGBTQ+ community.
My approach
I believe therapy is a collaborative journey, where we work together to uncover your strengths and explore pathways to healing and growth. I utilize evidence-based practices (EBPs) such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma-Focused CBT, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), with a trauma-informed, culturally sensitive approach.
