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. I explain that therapy is a process, a relationship, and an adventure. It's also a gift of discovery and renewal that only you can give to yourself, especially in our challenging days. 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.

In the words of Ted Lasso: “Be curious, not judgmental.” I bring a multidisciplinary perspective to the work, with a focus on supporting individuals experiencing depression, anxiety disorders, neurodiversity, and those seeking gender-affirming care.
The journey into counseling is rooted in two core passions: a deep curiosity about the human mind and a love for meaningful collaboration. I draw from both psychoanalytic and client-centered approaches to help explore each person’s unique challenges, desires, and goals. My aim is to bring empathy, humor, and—above all—curiosity into the therapeutic space.
