Monica has been incredibly supportive during a very challenging time. She has a wonderful ability to listen and reflect things back to you so that you can see things that you weren't able to see previously. She is very empathetic, kind and compassionate. She always listens without any judgment. She helps to guide you to an answer that is true to yourself when you may not have known previously which way to turn. I am very grateful to her for all of her support and would highly recommend her.

Monica was a great help, support and trusted person at a hard time for me. She always met me with an open ear and a lot of compassion, not to forget stating the obvious which I was unable to see it at times.
Monica really helped me to see beyond the chaos of my mind and heart which helped me tremendously to focus on the way forward. Thank you Monica!
