Navigating major life changes, anxiety, or the weight of grief and loss can feel
overwhelming on its own. I am Monica, an LCSW with 12 years of experience supporting
adults and seniors through exactly these moments. I offer telehealth sessions throughout
California and I am here when you are ready.
My approach is collaborative and grounded in meeting you where you are. I draw on
evidence-based techniques that help you examine the patterns driving anxiety, stress, or
low mood and build practical strategies for lasting change. I hold a particular respect for
the work of facing end of life, whether for yourself or a loved one, and I bring the same
steady, thoughtful presence to every session whether we are working through grief, life
transitions, or everyday stress. I believe in your capacity to grow and adapt, and my role is
to walk alongside you.
Our first session is about getting to know each other and understanding what brought you
to therapy. I will ask about your life right now and what you are hoping our work together
can make possible. There is no need to have it all figured out before we begin. My goal is
for you to leave feeling heard and with a clearer sense of the direction we will take
together.
