My name is Monique. I am dual trained and registered as a social worker and as a health coach. There is a huge advantage to this dual training; working simultaneously on mental and physical health goals. I work within the biopsychosocial model with the belief that body, mind, and social environment are all interconnected. My approach is solution oriented using a range of therapeutic techniques to move you forward to your self determined goals. My specialist areas are anxiety, depression, ADHD, and substance use. As a person I am warm, engaging, amusing, and always up for a gentle challenge.
I am a firm believer in being client centred, with the understanding that clients do best when their goals are self-determined. This approach means that I surface your inner resourcefulness so that you leave every session and our therapeutic journey feeling like you have control over your life again.
Reach out to me if you are looking for a therapist that surfaces your strengths and embraces complexity. My therapy style is collaborative and interactive. My client testimonials talk to my ability to problem solve, generate workable solutions, and move clients forward at a pace they are comfortable with. Make contact with me to find out more.

I work with clients who are feeling distressed, dysregulated, and disconnected from significant others. In our first session, which is 90 minutes, we will delve into the issues at hand and determine what it is you would like to attain in therapy with you. Each session will leave you feeling lighter, more resolved, and directed.

My core therapy types strength based, CBT, and DBT. I am solution oriented and client centred. I am highly adaptive and intuitive, guided by my clients' personality, lived reality, and psychosocial situation. Therapy with me is a combination of feeling held while gently challenged. I surface my clients' inner resourcefulness in moving them forward at their pace, meeting them where they are at.
