I am Rev. Dr. Monika Maria Grace and I welcome you to my page! In our first session together, I also welcome you to my real or virtual office and I invite you to make it your own safe space.

In this process, my role is to listen, to support, to challenge, to guide, and to celebrate you as you are becoming more courageous to face the parts of yourself you were avoiding, more accepting of yourself and of others, and fully present in your life.

You want to stop living in fear/worry. You've had enough of doubting and criticizing yourself every single day questioning your skills at work or at interpersonal relationships with friends or your partner or the idea of dating is terrifying..the good news is you're in the right place and you're not alone! It's exhausting not being able to enjoy things that used to matter to you and over-thinking every single detail in a negative way. It's infuriating to want to socialize but being afraid of how people will "judge" or "view" you just because you don't feel like yourself. It's draining to not wanting to go to work or start your day.

Your life often feels like a relentless battle between motherhood, marriage challenges, relationship difficulties, work issues and not living the life God intended for you.

Isolation & panic start creeping back up. Anxiety, fear & exhaustion are your new, uninvited best friends. You long for deeper connections, stronger boundaries, authentic communication and nurturing self-care, but you lack the skills to change things & doubt how it could ever be better.
