As a POC queer person, finding a POC queer ally in Monica has been incredibly affirming. She is gentle, supportive, and so real in the way she shows up in sessions. I tend to overanalyze a lot, and working with her has helped me slow down and come back into the present much more often. I was nervous because of my previous experiences, but her approach made such a difference. She creates a space that feels safe, and genuinely welcoming and understanding. She’s also funny, which makes sessions feel natural and human. I would easily recommend her to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and affirming therapist.
