Her approach is rooted in empathy, collaboration, and evidence-based practices that empower clients to build resilience and emotional wellness.
Monica has a special interest in women’s mental health, with experience supporting clients through perinatal and postpartum transitions, parenting stress, identity shifts, and other life changes. She is especially skilled at helping women reconnect with their inner strengths and navigate the emotional complexities of different life stages.
Her clinical work is informed by trauma-informed care and strength-based interventions, and she draws from modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and family systems work. Monica is known for her warm presence, cultural sensitivity, and ability to connect authentically with clients of all ages and backgrounds. She has completed specialized training to diagnose and treat perinatal mood disorders including pregnancy & postpartum depression and anxiety.
Monica will be offering counseling services at our Bloom office, as well as in select Oldham County schools, helping increase access to mental health support for youth and families in the community. She is committed to fostering healing, connection, and long-term well-being through thoughtful, personalized care.
