About Monique

I'm not a blank screen. I'm not tiptoeing around you or withholding what I see. I believe therapy works best when there's a real person across from you — someone who's warm, direct, and genuinely invested in your growth.

I became a therapist because I saw how much people could change when they finally had the right conditions. Not a lecture. Not a checklist. Just someone who could hold space for all of it — the messy parts, the stuck parts, the parts that don't make sense yet.

Growth actually happens here. People don't just come in and stay stuck.

Beyond the Office

Outside of the therapy room, I'm still very much a human figuring it out. I live in Santa Cruz with my family, and I care deeply about this community.

My interest in trauma work, couples therapy, and newer modalities like KAP and IFS isn't purely academic — it's personal. I've seen what these approaches can do, both professionally and in my own life.

  • Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT #133387)
  • Internal Family Systems (IFS) trained

Warmth without skill feels like a nice friend. Skill without warmth feels like a doctor's office. I want you to feel both.
