Hello! My name is Monica, I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and I specialize in EMDR as well as a combination of somatic and cognitive therapies. I believe that healing occurs not only in the mind but in the body as well. That’s why I combine traditional talk therapy with mind-body approaches to address the root causes of distress and promote lasting change.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

In our first session together, we'll start with me getting to know you and gathering some of your history, then dive into some of the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I’m here to support you in addressing emotional, physical, and mental aspects, helping you release the past, manage stress, and create a future of growth, peace, and well-being.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I enjoy working with adults who are looking for effective, lasting relief from trauma, anxiety, stress, and/or emotional challenges.

My treatment methods

EMDR

A therapy method I use to help individuals process and heal from traumatic or distressing experiences.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

Helps individuals identify and challenge negative or unhelpful thoughts and beliefs, then replace them with more balanced and constructive ones. This shift in thinking leads to healthier emotions and behaviors, improving overall mental well-being.

Dialectical Behavior (DBT)

Helps individuals manage intense emotions and improve relationships by teaching skills in mindfulness, emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness.
