I can offer a safe, non-judgmental space to process the feelings & thoughts that arise in a therapeutic process. I enjoy using humor when it is appropriate & invite my clients to laugh and share as much as they need to.

Life transitions can be challenging and it is important that my clients feel empowered to make the best decisions for themselves and feel good about those decisions.

First session

Your session time is your space for you. You can use that time to explore feelings and thoughts that keep coming up; you can use your session to set goals and make a plan to achieve those goals. This is your place to feel comfortable and let down the walls that keep you from moving forward.

Strengths

I have experienced several transitions personally and enjoy helping others with those same challenges. This includes, but is not limited to, divorce, infertility, adoption, blended families and grief. If you find yourself experiencing life transitions, I can help guide you in that process. I offer therapy services as well as coaching.

Ideal clients

This is the time for you to commit to yourself in a healthy, positive way. I work with individuals who are ready to do the work within their session and in between. Making changes and gaining a better understanding of ourselves takes time and effort and commitment, but the end result is worth it. You are worth it.

Dr. Monson is direct, authentic, and will tell it like it is, but still very warm, empathetic, and caring. I automatically felt comfortable talking to her and opening up about what I was dealing with. She's solution oriented, open minded, patient, easy to talk to, and creates a very safe space.
