For many women who are considering therapy, it's not easy taking the first step. You may have felt the weight of carrying your issues on your own for so long and have no idea where to begin. You may have sought therapy previously and felt your issues were being minimized, your "voice" was not being heard by your provider, or you were unable to maintain a sense of authenticity due to significant cultural barriers. If you can identify with either of these scenarios, I created Monroe Clinical Counseling for women like you. In this space, your truth, your voice, and your authenticity are valued. You are priority.

The truth will set you free"... I became a therapist because I believe that through relationship , listening, and talking, a tremendous amount of healing can take place in a person's life. I believe in people and the potential for change and growth in their lives. I see therapy as a partnership in facilitating that change. I help people to free themselves from various things that hold them down, guilt, anger, shame, addictions, anxiety... I attempt to help people establish a more solid foundation of self worth, balance, love and flexibility to be able to negotiate the world, their relationships and themselves more successfully.

Now accepting clients! My clients are burned-out peacemakers suffering from anxiety, depression, and self-esteem issues. They put others before themselves and struggle to set boundaries. Many had difficult childhoods where their emotional needs weren't fully met and may struggle with ongoing difficult family relationships. They may have a history of childhood trauma, which we address with EMDR. Our work is a process of learning who they are, what they need, and undoing the unhealthy patterns that keep them trapped. I provide virtual individual, family, and EMDR therapy.

As a therapist I meet you where you are in life and join with you for a time on your journey to self-improvement. On this journey, it is so important to feel heard. Therapy is about being heard and empowering you to use your voice to be the person you want to be and to lead the life you want to lead. I listen deeply as we work together to identify and meet your therapeutic goals. I believe the environment is a part of the whole person that impacts one’s emotional, mental and physical well-being and needs to be considered in therapy. I invite your feedback regarding what is working and not working for you in our therapy sessions.

Are you stuck having the same fight over and over again? Do you want to create more excitement and satisfaction in your relationships, in your sex life, or in your life in general?

I provide individual, relational and sex therapy that can help you create tangible change in your relationships and increase your sense of agency over your own wellbeing.

People choose to enter therapy for a variety of reasons. Some are driven to therapy by a desire for self understanding, while others seek it out because they feel defeated and overwhelmed. In any case, in my experience, those who willingly enter into therapy will be helped by the process. I listen with an open mind and work collaboratively with clients to address symptoms and enhance self-understanding. My approach is psychodynamic, which means I prioritize equal understanding of your current life, your personal history, and your internal experience.

My ten years of experience working with LGBTQ people and clients of various backgrounds in mental health settings has shown me that personal change occurs best through relationships based on trust, and a common purpose. Relationships where you are encouraged to say what’s on your mind, be challenged, take risks, and gain new insights. In our sessions, I will focus on honoring your autonomy as we work towards your goals for therapy. My intention is not to teach you a “correct way to live" but instead to learn what already works for you and help create a space to explore yourself further leading to new possibilities for your life.

You can't stop doing what you're doing, and it's really about to seriously disrupt your life? Locked in to persistent, compulsive actions that you don't quit, but also don't leave you satisfied? Disturbances of the inner self can interfere with joy and satisfaction in living. Sometimes experiences of frustration, anger, disappointment, sorrow and loss become repetitious, even predictable. It's time to do something.

There are many reasons you may be seeking therapy — marital and familial conflict, grief & loss, anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, self-esteem, sexual abuse, domestic violence, or relationships are among the most common reasons. Perhaps you have asked yourself questions such as “how long will this pain last?” “when will I be good enough?” “how can I learn to love myself” “Why me?’ "How do I get out?" I want you to know you are not alone! Together we can explore your needs. You want to be happy, let's explore the barriers keeping you from happiness & success. You need tools to navigate life, let's create a road map.

Some things are difficult to think about and even harder to talk about. Perhaps you are experiencing depression or anxiety, dissatisfaction in a relationship or career, or struggling with substance abuse/misuse or self-sabotaging behaviors. These are just some of the many reasons that one might find themselves seeking help from a therapist. When one makes the decision to seek help it is the courageous first step in the journey to self-awareness and a more fulfilling life. Very simply, my role as a therapist is to help you begin the transformative journey of uncovering limiting beliefs that are obstacles to emotional wellness.
