About me

Monique has worked in social services and mental health for almost 30 years, with experience in community mental health, crisis intervention, hospitals, schools, foster care, and forensic settings. While she has been licensed as a psychologist for the past several years, her work is grounded in decades of supporting people through a variety of life challenges.

Her passion is working with adults and teenagers who want to better understand themselves, navigate life transitions, strengthen relationships, and improve their overall well-being. Many of her clients are seeking clarity around patterns, identity, emotions, and how to move forward in ways that feel more intentional and aligned. Her approach is relational, integrative, and tailored to the individual.

Monique draws from interpersonal, cognitive-behavioral, and behavioral strategies based on each client’s needs, goals, and style. She is grounded in a culturally responsive lens that recognizes how identity, background, and lived experience shape how people understand themselves and move through the world. She also values the therapeutic relationship and believes that trust, respect, and collaboration are essential to meaningful and lasting change.

Monique welcomes clients of all genders, racial and ethnic backgrounds, sexual orientations, and identities. She aims to offer a space where people feel seen, respected, and supported. Her goal is to offer a thoughtful, grounded space where clients feel heard, understood, and supported as they build on their strengths and move forward with greater clarity and confidence.
