My name is Monica, I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist #146445.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help us collaborate to create goals, and a plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I have worked with a variety of clients throughout my career. I feel this makes me very versatile as a therapist. Also, I try to meet my clients where they are at and get on their level.
