While I specialize in adverse childhood experiences and workplace/university transitions, clients come from all walks of life. Every individual is different, every story is unique- everyone who makes it in for counselling is looking for something similar- to make a change. Whether changing a perspective, a behaviour or resolving feelings that don't serve us anymore- change however big or small is a big deal. What makes me special as a therapist is that my clients feel comfortable opening up early on in counselling. I have the ability to help my clients get to the heart of the matter, to peel that onion in a safe and supportive way.
With more than 30 years of experience, Monique is skilled at building trust and creating a safe space for you to begin your journey to your next chapter. Effective and experienced in counselling practice, teaching and leadership, Monique gets you the results you are hoping for.
In addition to professional qualifications and education, Monique brings her lived experience to her practice in areas such as grief and loss, sexual harassment and workplace bullying. While everyone's experience is uniquely theirs, Monique has "been there". If you're ready to turn the page & take your counselling to the next level reach out today.

I work a lot with clients who have experienced various forms of trauma, abuse, life changes/transitions and identity. I have served hundreds of university students as they transition into adulthood and independence as they figure out who they are in the world. Exploring the question of "who am I" is a lifelong journey. It can be brought on by loss of a loved one, a job or a way of life.
