Great to meet you!

Hi, I’m Montez, the founder of This Too Shall Pass Counseling. I’m a wife, mother to an amazing son, daughter, sister, and a travel medical social worker who understands firsthand how overwhelming life can feel when you’re carrying a lot for everyone else. The name This Too Shall Pass comes from my personal journey of faith, resilience, and learning that even the hardest seasons don’t last forever.

I work with adults who are navigating anxiety, life transitions, relationship challenges, burnout, and emotional overwhelm. My approach blends evidence-based therapy with faith-centered support, helping clients find clarity, healing, and practical tools they can use in everyday life. I strive to create a safe, judgment-free space where you can show up as you are, reconnect with your strengths, and move forward with confidence, peace, and purpose.

My approach to therapy

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is all about noticing the patterns, your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, and how they affect your mood and choices. In our work together, we challenge unhelpful thinking and replace it with healthier, more realistic ways to cope so life feels less overwhelming.

What you can expect from me

The first session is all about getting to know you and helping you feel comfortable. We’ll talk about what brought you to therapy, what you’re hoping to work on, and what’s been weighing on you lately—at your pace. There’s no pressure to have everything figured out or to share more than you’re ready to. I’ll also explain how therapy works, answer any questions you may have, and collaborate with you on goals that feel realistic and meaningful. My goal is for you to leave feeling heard, supported, and hopeful.
