Hi there, I'm Monica! I specialize in working with clients struggling to maintain social connections as well as those managing stress and life transitions. I have advanced training and experience with adolescents, complex trauma, and co-occurring conditions. I focus on providing genuine and patient neurodiversity-affirming care. I’m very interested in new research involving the brain-body connection and neurodiversity. My special interest is in working with twice-exceptional youth and adults (learning disability + giftedness).

Have you ever experienced something deeply distressing that it holds you back from living your life? No matter how hard you try to suppress it, those negative feelings seem to resurface when you desperately need it to go away. Feeling a loss of control can cause you to feel defeated, lonely, and unmotivated. You don't need to go through this alone and this feeling doesn’t need to be permanent. I am committed to providing a nonjudgmental space for you to make sense of these experiences. I am a strength-based therapist that utilizes an integrative and client-centered approach. Let’s work collaboratively to help you heal and grow.

Do you find yourself caught in a cycle of reactions, often feeling down about yourself? Is your past holding you back in ways that aren’t helping you thrive in the present? When our past experiences control us, our ability to choose our responses diminishes, impacting us emotionally and physically, often leading to feelings of depression, anxiety, and shame. These struggles can affect how we connect with others. But there’s hope. I view therapy as a collaborative and empathic journey that fosters well-being on m a mental, physical and spiritual level.

Dating and relationships can be challenging, especially when balancing work, family, and personal life. Perhaps some of the important pieces of your life have not fallen into place yet, leaving you feeling stuck. Experiencing this day after day can feel hopeless, but I am glad to say that you CAN make things better. Men are often taught to dismiss and devalue their feelings. Perhaps it was a lack of support of our emotions growing up or a deeply ingrained acceptance of the social norm that celebrates a very specific definition of masculinity. Either way, it can result in unaddressed anxiety, resentment, or depression.

Our relationships are the greatest treasures we have in life. When we feel disconnected in our relationship with ourselves and others, we are more prone to experiencing isolation, dysfunction and pain. While our pain can be a great teacher, feeling stuck and alone on the journey of life can feel hopeless at times. My goal is to walk with you through the healing process and support you in restoring life in your relationship with yourself and others. With a holistic approach to therapy, addressing the needs of the body, mind and soul are vital for restoring connection as we walk together through the healing process.

Is online therapy a good option?

What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In the US, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counselor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counselors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.
What type of therapist is right for me?
Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.
Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors. Many have been licensed by the country or state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.
What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
