Monica's been a great resource as I've developed. I think she knows how to listen and engage with helpful feedback.

Monica is a very strong clinician. As a therapist myself, I tend to be picky and rarely receive feedback that I haven't already considered through my own reflection. Monica opened my eyes to a restructured and more helpful way of thinking. After several sessions, I feel so much better and have learned to manage my own personal relationships in a healthier manner. I highly recommend Monica.

Monica approaches professionalism in a way in which makes you feel very comfortable. She remembers and allows the space for you to vent as needed while providing realistic and respectable solutions that have helped me immensely. She is prompt, kind, non-judgmental and down to earth. I would recommend her to anyone, especially those struggling with anxiety or depression as I have been.

Monica is easy to talk to, she listens and gives great advise on how to deal with my emotions, guilt and everyday stress. I have learned a lot so far from Monica. She is helping to get me through my grieving process as well as digging deeper into my individual growth. I would recommend Monica as she is helpful and respectful.
