About me

I have been a Licensed Clinical Social worker since 1996, with experience as a therapist. I have worked with teenagers helping them to navigate many issues, and challenges including ADHD, depression, anxiety, relationship issues, grief and loss, communication problems, trauma, and addressing challenges related to school.

My experience in working with teenagers comes from both my personal experience as a parent, as well as, my experience working in the field with teenagers. The issues that teenagers face in today's ever changing society contribute to a variety of emotional challenges, ones that teenagers, and their parents, are often ill-equipped to handle. We have no manuals that come with each one of our children giving us specific instructions on how to parent them, and how to uniquely approach the child who is crying out, or acting out for help.

As your therapist, I work with the parent, as well as, the child, to identify the issues, the pitfalls, the strengths and to work with those strengths to determine the best direction to go in therapy. Working to alleviate conflicts, and create a better understanding of what the unmet needs are, can often contribute to healing, and resolution of parent-child conflict.

The best person I could have ever hoped to have come into contact with as a therapist. Monica is therapy. She lacks nothing; in my humble opinion. Professional tact, warm and magnetic, helpful and mindful and Monica exudes confidence without bravado. I am incredibly thankful for her talent, knowledge, expertise and caring nature. If you’re not comfortable sharing with Monica then you may not be able to share with anyone. Thank you again Monica!

I appreciate all the help I got from Monica. She offered different perspectives on my issues. She is very supportive. I appreciate her mature experience and feels like talking to a equivalent of Master Yoda. Who doesn't need a super wise woman in their life?
I usually need a little more time after the session to generate thoughts and questions. Through teen counseling, I am very glad I can send out my questions and thoughts on daily if needed and Monica will support instead of waiting until the next session.
I really appreciate the possibility to chat in between sessions. For me it accelerated to healing process and it is very appreciated.
This is next level and I will recommend Monica and the app.
