Navigating major life changes, anxiety, or the weight of grief and loss can feel
overwhelming on its own. I am Monica, an LCSW with 12 years of experience supporting
adults and seniors through exactly these moments. I offer telehealth sessions throughout
California and I am here when you are ready.
I can understand first-hand how difficult it can be to reach out for help for the first time. I believe in the importance of "practicing what you preach" and I have been the client in the room who needs extra support. I invite you to give yourself a chance, try something new, and gain a healthy perspective on how to address complicated moments in your life.
Welcome! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with nearly a decade of clinical experience across diverse healthcare and mental health settings, helping adults navigate anxiety, depression, grief, life transitions, caregiver stress, and the emotional impact of chronic or life-limiting illness. I believe healing begins in a space where you feel heard and understood. Together, we'll build practical tools, increase self-awareness, and work toward meaningful, lasting change at a pace that feels right for you.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker providing trauma-informed, holistic care for individuals seeking meaningful change.
I view therapy as a bridge — helping you move from the past to your desired future.
Using evidence-based approaches, I help you uncover and release patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaving that no longer serve you. Instead of changing these patterns through force, we clear away the distortions to reveal the clarity underneath.
My goal is to walk alongside you on this leg of your healing journey, as you align your mind, body, spirit and actions.
I am a licensed clinician specializing in trauma recovery. I work with adolescents and adults who are experiencing emotional and difficult experiences. My goal is to provide a supportive space where clients can begin to heal.
I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology with a minor in Neuroscience from the University of Portland and my Master’s degree from Santa Clara University. My clinical experience spans school-based services, residential care, ABA, community mental health, and high-acuity crisis work. I have worked with children, teenagers, adults, and older adults from diverse backgrounds. I particularly enjoy working with teenagers as they discover who they are and who they want to become. My areas of focus include anxiety, depression, relationships, life transitions, couples therapy, and men’s mental health. My experience also allows me to remain calm and responsive when situations become difficult.
