YOU'RE HERE BECAUSE

Life looks good on the outside, but inside, something feels off.

You feel controlled by triggers, are constantly either overwhelmed or disconnected and  desire a more peaceful, authentic and connected life. 

Healing and change are possible.   

With the right support and tools, you can begin to feel more grounded, connected and in control.

About

The things you thought would bring change and help you feel better? They haven’t worked the way you hoped they would.

 

You don’t have to settle for a life that feels disconnected or on edge.

 

 

I help women regulate and rewire their nervous systems, so they can move forward in a way that supports their well-being and aligns with their personal values.

 

You might be looking for support with:

Recovering  from a recent or past trauma, loss or stressful event, learning to effectively cope so you can fully process and heal and get back to a life you love. 

Managing triggers, stress and feeling shut-down, even though you feel you have all the tools.  

 

Creating healthier, more fulfilling relationships with food and your body, healing from Diet Culture, and enjoying full recovery.

Together, we’ll make space for all your parts with compassion and we will go beyond  self-understanding so that you can live with less suffering and more intention and meaning.

HI. I'M MONICA.

As an EMDR therapist, I help women reconnect with themselves, regulate and rewire their nervous systems, deepen their resilence and find lasting relief from what's keeping them stuck.

My approach in therapy is collaborative—I aim to strike a thoughtful balance of being empathetic and challenging. I love working with women acrosss the lfespan who are motivated to grow and ready to experience lasting change and relief. I also have a special place in my heart for women with easting disorders or trauma from the past.
 
In therapy, I’ll help you understand yourself and your nervous system and rewire it so you can move past what may be keeping you stuck and move forward, not just surviving, but thriving. We’ll explore your values and what fulfillment truly means for you, creating space to live more authentically and aligned with who you are. Above all, my commitment is to provide a judgment-free space where you can move past shame and show up as your authentic self.
