More about Monica

  • 20 years' experience
  • Female
  • LPC

All of us, at one time or another, can struggle with life’s challenges. Sometimes we need a little help, guidance, or skills to overcome these obstacles. I believe in the importance of allowing others the space to tell their story, within a safe, calm, compassionate environment.

As we all are different no single approach is right for everyone, therefore my practice method is integrative, evidenced-based practices, tempered with some creativity. I favor a combination of therapeutic approaches including Mindfulness, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Art Therapy.
