I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 10 years of experience supporting women through the complexities of life, relationships, and personal growth. In my practice, I work with professional women navigating anxiety, stress, depression, relationship challenges, life transitions, and the unique pressures that often come with being a woman who is expected to have it all together. My work is rooted in helping women break free from the expectations of others—and the curated expectations created by social media—and reconnect with what feels authentic to them. My approach is direct, supportive, and intentional. Together, we explore the patterns, beliefs, and expectations that may be keeping you stuck and what it could look like to move through life with greater confidence, clarity, and intention. You don’t have to be in crisis to benefit from therapy. Sometimes, you simply want to understand yourself better, make different choices, and create a life that feels more aligned with who you are becoming.
Our first session is a chance to slow down, get to know each other, and explore what brings you to therapy. You don’t need to have everything figured out or know exactly where to begin. You can expect a warm, supportive, and judgment-free space where we’ll begin identifying what you need and how I can best support you. Together, we’ll create a direction for therapy that feels purposeful, practical, and relevant to your life.
One of my greatest strengths as a therapist is my ability to meet you where you are rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all approach. I believe therapy should be as unique as the person sitting across from me. My style is supportive and collaborative, but also direct when it’s helpful. I want therapy to be a space where you feel understood while also having the opportunity to challenge patterns that may no longer serve you. Clients often appreciate that our work feels both personally relevant and practical—giving them insight they can understand and tools they can actually use beyond the therapy room. My approach is flexible, intentional, and focused on meaningful progress. Together, we’ll work toward changes that don’t just feel good in the moment, but feel authentic, sustainable, and aligned with the woman you want to become.
My ideal client are professional women ready to slow down, gain a deeper understanding of themselves, and create meaningful change. They may be navigating anxiety, life transitions, relationship challenges, or past experiences that continue to shape how they respond and connect. Together, we’ll build emotional awareness, recognize patterns, develop healthier ways of coping, and create greater clarity, grounding, and connection.
I’ve been using Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills in my practice for the past five years to help clients manage intense emotions, reduce distress, and improve relationships. I integrate DBT-informed strategies such as mindfulness, emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness to support clients in building practical, sustainable coping skills that can help you lead a more relaxed and less stressful life.
I use an Internal Family Systems (IFS)–informed approach in my work. Incorporating Parts work into my practice often happens organically, and clients tend to connect deeply with the language of Parts work, sometimes speaking in this language without even realizing it. This approach offers a clear and compassionate way to understand inner experiences without judgment, helping reduce inner conflict, and strengthen trust in SELF.
I use a somatic-informed approach to help clients increase awareness of how stress, emotions, and past experiences are held in the body. By gently integrating body-based techniques such as breathwork, grounding, and movement, clients can develop greater regulation, release tension, and feel more connected to their body and sense of safety.
I use mindfulness-based practices to help clients build awareness of their thoughts, emotions, and bodily experiences in the present moment. Through techniques such as grounding, breath awareness, and intentional attention, mindfulness supports emotional regulation, reduces stress, and helps clients respond to challenges with greater clarity and calm.

Montinique is amazing! She listens and provides great feedback. She has been helping me to identify area of my life and strive to my goals. I enjoy talking with her and happy with my choice. I am happy to have been connected as my first therapist. I highly recommend her.
