Supporting women through meaningful life transitions
Whether you're navigating fertility challenges, pregnancy, postpartum shifts, or the daily realities of parenting. I also work with couples to strengthen connection, improve communication, and build more fulfilling relationships.
Clients often describe me as warm, kind, and collaborative—with just the right amount of humor to help bring lightness to even the heaviest moments. My approach to therapy is deeply human: grounded in compassion, rooted in curiosity, and always centered on what’s real for you.
more about monica
I earned my Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology with an emphasis in Marriage and Family Therapy from Pepperdine University in 2016, and my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from California State University Northridge in 2013.
During graduate school, I gained extensive training working with adults navigating trauma, addiction, and severe mental illness. I also had the privilege of supporting young women making difficult pregnancy decisions, offering counseling, facilitating parenting classes, and providing emotional support to mothers adjusting to new phases of life. After completing my graduate program, my work expanded to focus on young children and families, particularly those in under-served communities. I developed specialized experience supporting children, working closely with parents around early childhood development, behavioral challenges, and strengthening family relationships.
