Monica’s therapeutic approach is deeply collaborative, creating a safe and nonjudgmental space for clients to process trauma, perspective and pain. They have extensive experience working with LGBTQ+ individuals, sex workers, survivors of abuse and intimate partner violence, immigrants, and those navigating neurodiversity, disability, non-monogamy and gender identity. They also have experience as a psychedelic therapist and helping people integrate their psychedelic experiences into their lives.

Grounded in a radical and intersectional framework, Monica’s work recognizes the interconnectedness of mind and body, social identity, and the environment. She integrates individual intervention approaches and an anti-oppressive lens to help clients cultivate self-awareness, resilience, and a sense of empowerment within their communities and the larger world.

Monica is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a specialization in behavioral health. They earned their Master’s in Social Work from the University of Maryland School of Social Work and have completed advanced training in Trauma-Focused CBT, Trauma-Informed Care, Psychological First Aid, Internal Family Systems therapy, Psychedelic Therapy including Ketamine and Psychedelic Integration.

“I think it is healing behavior, to look at something so broken and see the possibility and wholeness in it.”
– Adrienne Maree Brown, Emergent Strategy: Shaping Change, Changing Worlds
