About Me
I am a licensed Mental Health counselor in Texas and Maryland with over 12 years of experience working as a Certified Employee Assistance Professional, and Qualified Substance Abuse Professional. I possess a Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology and African-American Studies from the University of Virginia and a Master of Social Work degree from the University of Maryland-Baltimore with a Clinical concentration, and dual specialization in Mental Health and Employee Assistance Programs. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, multi-cultural issues, and substance use disorders to name a few. I also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse.
My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, solution-focused, and motivational counseling. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.
I look forward to working with you!

Has helped so so much!!
Monique is a great listener! She is able to pull things out of you that shock you! She is very compassionate and patience! I really enjoy chatting with her! If you need healing or a listening ear she is a rockstar!
Monique is very professional and very good at making me see things in a way I hadn't considered. She is compassionate and understanding. I would recommend Monique to anyone needing counseling. She will be able to listen, help, and get to the bottom of your problem.
This lady is awesome! Very easy to talk to and a great listener! Listens better to me than I do to myself
