Hello. I've been a licensed marriage and family therapist for 17 years, and I love helping people!

I understand what it is to have issues that are hard to resolve on one's own. Congratulations if you are considering getting some help!

I have over ten years of experience working with children, adolescents, and adults in a variety of settings including residential treatment, private practice, intensive outpatient, and school-based social work.

Shame often prevents people from reaching out for therapy because of some inner narrative about getting help. “I’m not someone who needs therapy” or “I can figure this out on my own”. The truth is, most people see a primary care doctor regularly because it’s normalized, they get sick or need a check up from time to time. Our mental health is no different. Everyone experiences emotional pain or “illness” at some point in life. Much of the narrative we are exposed to does not consider the importance of self-compassion.

When we experience the effects from trauma, we can feel as though symptoms become a huge part of who we are. Symptoms like avoidant behaviors, increase irritability and angry outbursts, extreme beliefs like "it's my fault" or "nobody can be trusted," chronic shame, and hyper-vigilance remain constant. Yet, we know somehow these behaviors are not working and sabotaging life as we want it. Monique specializes in trauma therapy with emphasis on connection, compassion, and evidenced based treatment(s) personalized to your unique goals, and aims to provide a high-quality therapeutic experience that empowers you to heal.

In the midst of life and its constant changes, it is comforting, at times, to have someone to talk with. I enjoy being a light and ear for others during more challenging times. The needs we have as individuals change as we grow and it can be tough to identify the lessons that motivate us to press forward. As we and our environments continue to shift, at times we can get stuck. It takes courage to acknowledge our own reflection and seek what we need. While attempting to balance various life developments, emotionally/mentally, conquering goals may seem bleak or unattainable. Whatever those desires or stressors, I will sit with you.

The poet Mary Oliver writes, "Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?" This comes close to summing up my approach to life and to therapy. People who come to therapy are yearning for real growth and change, and my goal is to help them get there. I use an integrative, mindfulness-based approach to address a wide range of clients and issues. My goal is for every person who walks through my door to leave feeling more whole, hopeful, and healthy than when he or she arrived.

Have the terrible 2's never stopped or gotten worse after your child turned 2.5 yrs? Do you have a young child with more frequent, long, or intense temper tantrums and behavior problems than is expected for the child’s age?

Or, is your child so anxious that you are dreading daycare or school drop offs because your child has to be pried off of you? Is your child struggling to adjust to a big transition like parents’ divorce, a new sibling, grief, or trauma?
