I worked with Monica for about 6 months during a period of unusual stress and anxiety in my life. I found Monica to be kind, caring, supportive and insightful. She provided a calm haven in a storm that gave me the space to hear my own words and thoughts. I feel stronger and more peaceful and ready to move forward. I will definitely come back to therapy with Monica as needed and I would recommend her to anyone seeking connection and support.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Monica and I have been working together a couple weeks now and I’ve truly appreciated all her insight so far!
Monica is a very kind, patient, and understanding professional. I found it very easy to open up to her about my thoughts and feelings within me, and she found ways to further that with being able to empathize and relate to some of my issues. She offers great tools and ways to look/frame issues I am going through. I even had a breakdown during a session and she got me to calm down and stabilize in a very quick time. I hope to stay with her for a while.
Monica has been able to connect with me in a short period of time and was able to quickly help me get to work on finding solutions and overcoming some issues that I had been experiencing. She is very patient and understanding and I would highly recommend her to anyone in need.
