Healing from Trauma with Compassionate Care: EMDR, Mindfulness, and Tailored Support

Meet Monica! 


Licensed Social Worker & Clinical Mental Health Therapist

Hello, my name is Monica and I’m a caring therapist who specializes in helping people heal from trauma. With a focus on EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapy and mindfulness, I work with clients to process difficult emotions, overcome painful memories, and find a sense of peace and balance in their lives.

Drawing on a trauma-focused approach, I provide a safe and supportive space where clients can feel heard and understood. EMDR therapy is a key part of this, helping people reframe and heal from distressing memories that may be affecting their present life. In addition, mindfulness techniques are incorporated to help clients stay grounded, reduce stress, and build emotional resilience.

I believe that healing is possible and works collaboratively with each person to help them navigate their journey, building the skills and inner strength needed to move forward. With a compassionate, no-pressure approach, I support clients in reconnecting with their own ability to heal and grow.

In addition to EMDR and mindfulness, I offer a range of therapeutic approaches to address a variety of concerns. These include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and other evidence-based methods. I am equipped to support individuals whose primary concerns may not be trauma-related, including anxiety, depression, parental burnout, navigating the challenges of motherhood, and both pre- and postnatal care. Whether you're facing life stressors or looking for support through a particular mental health challenge, I provided a flexible, client-centered approach to help you achieve balance, emotional well-being, and lasting change.
