“Rarely, if ever, are any of us healed in isolation. Healing is an act of communion.” -bell hooks
I am a licensed clinical social worker in Ohio, bringing over 5 years of experience from community health centers to urban schools in Columbus. My journey has connected me with people facing a spectrum of life challenges, from anxiety and depression to relationship issues and much more.
I believe in walking alongside you on your path to healing and personal growth. My approach is an integrative blend of healing-centered, liberation-focused, culturally responsive, trauma-sensitive, and neuroscience-informed frameworks, among others, tailored to meet the unique needs of each individual. I am committed to providing identity-affirmative care that honors the diverse identities, values, and experiences of all individuals, especially for those who hold marginalized identities. In an inclusive, supportive, and empowering environment, we'll work together to explore, heal, and grow. If you are seeking support for coping and healing from trauma, I offer specific therapies aimed at trauma-focused treatment goals.
Our collaboration will involve building trust, setting goals that resonate with you, and exploring your life stories as well as the many aspects of your mind in a way that feels right for you. Together, we'll honor the complexity of your experiences and the different 'parts' that make up your whole being. We’ll delve into attachment patterns, exploring mindfulness and somatic-based approaches, and, if appropriate, blending your cultural and ancestral traditions & healing practices to enrich our work.
Empowerment and mutual respect are at the heart of my practice. We'll engage in open conversations, experiential activities, and mindfulness practices that foster self-awareness and emotional balance. I am dedicated to continuous learning, ensuring our work together benefits from evolving insights and techniques that cater to your unique journey.
I am passionate about supporting you in developing insights, resilience, and skills that contribute to your personal growth. I’m excited to join you on this transformative journey towards self-discovery, healing, and a richer sense of well-being. Looking forward to working with you!

Monica is the first therapist I’ve really clicked with and the first therapist I feel like actually listens to my concerns and finds ways that work for me in order to help with my issues. I’ve become very close and comfortable with her.

Monica is absolutely wonderful! She has made my first time therapy experience seamless. She is incredibly knowledgeable, empathetic, and approachable. I really appreciate the time and care she gives me as her client.

I highly recommend Monica. Working with her has provided so much relief and clarity to my life. She is supportive and direct and compassionate. She’s the first mental health professional I’ve had that I feel like has actually listened to my words. She truly wants to work in a way that works best for the both of you. She provides explanation and research that relates to your situation, but not in an overwhelming way. She has made a profound impact on my life.

Monica was more then meets the eye. She has gone above and beyond to help worm around my schedule. And she was all I ever wanted out of therapy 10/10 would recommend.
Written on Aug 02, 2024 after therapy with Monica for 3 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, addictions, family conflicts, self esteem, and anger management
Monica is a very supportive, sincere, and professional therapist. I could tell she was genuinely committed to well-being from the start of our first session. I appreciated her approach to starting therapy and she is mindful of a comfortable pace. She has been very intentional about taking the time to understand the whole context of a situation I am struggling with before offering her perspective and empowers me to make my own decisions. She has also shared many helpful resources that have allowed me to do my own self-guided work outside of therapy.

She’s the best therapist ever. I’ve never met someone who has been this excellent at their job ever before. Her ability to reference things is incredibly impressive and helpful.

In my time talking with Monica I feel she listens and really hears me. I don’t feel judged or ashamed. I’m allowed to feel vulnerable and she offers insight as well as materials to help support me outside of therapy.
Written on Apr 15, 2024 after therapy with Monica for 4 weeks on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, sleeping disorders, self esteem, and anger management
After a few incompatible therapists, my first appointment with Monica I had the biggest sigh of relief. From the get go Monica listened to me and guided our conversations in a way that didn't make a healing journey feel so overwhelming. Every session she meets me where I’m at that day, and I’ve already seen a lot of progress at just a little over a month in. She does a lot of research in her field and is always willing/trying to learn more, would recommend her to anybody!

The authenticity that Monica brings to the sessions while maintaining therapeutic boundaries is admirable. She is spot on with her observations and I'm really appreciating her direction, and redirection of mine when needed. I am grateful for the opportunity to benefit from her guidance. I understand that I am getting the most out of this because I am ready willing and able to do the work and make the time to reply to her questions and provide feedback when asked, so that she can best be prepared to help me. I couldn't have been matched with a better therapist!
