About me

Hello, my name is Monique and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who has been helping folks just like you since 2014.

I understand that asking for help may be one of the most difficult and courageous things you have had to face lately. I want to first off, congratulate you for making it this far and for having the bravery to start your own healing process.

My goal is to help you:
◉ Identify your goals in therapy and life.
◉ Use a healing and integrative approach in therapy.
◉ Create a treatment plan that is specific to your needs and unique life circumstances.
◉ Work together as a team toward your goals.

I have helped hundreds of individuals, families, couples and parents overcome mental health challenges throughout the years and I am confident that I can help you too.
I believe after building a strong therapeutic alliance, we have the power to begin the healing process with a tailor-made service plan and evidence based interventions that can help get you back to mending your relationships and sense of self.

Treatment Modalities:
Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing, Psychodynamic Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy with a Trauma Informed Approach.

I look forward to beginning this journey with you and again, I applaud your sense of courage for taking the first few steps towards healing.
