Hi there, I'm Monica!
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 10 years of experience supporting children, teens, adults, and families. I help you recognize what feels overwhelming, understand yourself more clearly, and make lasting changes.
My focus
I work well with teenagers, adults, and parents who feel anxious, overwhelmed, stuck, or burnt out. You may be navigating relationships, parenting, a major transition, or the same patterns showing up again and again.
My approach
My approach is collaborative, curious, and practical. We’ll explore what is happening now, where certain patterns stem from, and what could help things feel different. I’ll meet you with compassion and warmth, while also giving direct feedback.
