Asking for help takes courage. It takes courage to make the decision to work on yourself. Being here means that you chose to do important work on yourself. I’m a firm believer that each person holds their path of healing, within themselves. Counseling is beneficial as it helps to find and apply this information. I am a licensed therapist in California, New Jersey, Nevada, and Illinois. I am also a certified substance abuse counselor. My training includes cognitive processing therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy for depression, cognitive behavioral therapy for suicide, and cognitive behavioral therapy for chronic pain. My experience includes working with children and adults in the community, schools, individual settings, and veterans.

I also love to laugh and include humor in my sessions. I look forward to meeting you!

First session

My sessions are filled with respect and understanding. Conversations include our humanity. There will be times we may laugh together, or even cry together. Each person is treated with the respect they deserve.

Strengths

I believe that therapy is collaborative. In the walk to healing, it is imperative to recognize each client's pace. I actively employ listening to accurately understand the client's presenting problems and concerns. There is also an understanding that my role may not be just hat of a therapist, but also a cheerleader, encourager, provider of information, etc., to assist the client in the achievement of their goals.

I originally connected with Monica through my EAP benefits at work. I selected her because she was Christian! I have had so much growth with my sessions and am continuing with her through my retirement!

Working with Monica has been one of the best decisions I’ve made for my mental health. Monica is thoughtful, empathetic, and incredibly skilled at asking the right questions while still offering practical tools I can actually use. I feel supported, challenged in a healthy way, and respected at all times. I’ve noticed meaningful changes in how I think, communicate, and handle stress. I can’t recommend her enough. Thank you Monica! :)
