Monique is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over five years of experience working with children, adolescents, and families across a wide range of clinical settings.

Her experience spans inpatient, residential, school-based, and community services — giving her a deep understanding of how mental health shows up across environments, and what young people need to feel safe enough to do the work.

She has extensive experience supporting young clients dealing with depression, anxiety, ADHD, attachment disorders, personality disorders, and trauma — meeting each one with the steady, careful presence the work requires.

Monique's therapeutic approach is rooted in client-centered therapy, ensuring a safe and non-judgmental environment where clients feel heard, validated, and supported.
