Healing for All

Transformative

Welcome to Monarch Therapy

Come in. Sit down.
Make yourself comfortable.


Would you like a cup of something warm to drink? I am so glad you’re here.

Life is often hard and this may be a big step for you. I want you to feel safe when we talk about what is troubling you.

Are you struggling with a specific issue like anxiety or depression? Perhaps you feel stuck or insecure, or are constantly comparing yourself to others, and over-analyzing everything? Does your life look put together on the outside, but inside you feel like an imposter? Do you feel drained, overwhelmed, irritated, lost or alone?

Are you ready to heal and claim the life you dream of?

What you need is already inside of you, with my help you will see that. Therapy is not easy, it requires courage and it requires work inside and outside of the therapy room. Therapy provides tools and support for you to change. Therapy is an investment.

You are worth it!

The sooner you start the sooner you can get to where you want to be. Don’t stay in the dark.


“And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom. Life is a process of becoming,” -Anais Nin

 
 

What Transformation Looks Like

Arrive

This is what you’re doing now, beginning the process of transformation. Things feel heavy + hard. Scheduling an appointment is part of this step.

Process + Heal + Release

This is where we develop a relationship and together we begin to process and heal the thoughts, emotions and behaviors that are holding you back releasing those that no longer serve you.

Take Flight

This is the goal of therapy to become the best version of yourself. You already have all you need inside you. Your relationships are worth it. You are worth it.

Hi, I’m glad you’re here. You are not alone.

As a therapist, I bring a wealth of experience to the table, particularly in the following areas:

Anxiety and Depression

I specialize in assisting clients with anxiety and depression, guiding them in developing coping strategies, identifying negative thought patterns, and fostering resilience. My interventions often include internal family systems (IFS), psycho-education, and collaborative goal-setting to enhance overall mental well-being.

Trauma

Trauma-informed therapy is a significant aspect of my practice. Creating a safe therapeutic space is paramount for individuals to explore and address past traumas. My practice involves a comprehensive and compassionate understanding of how trauma shapes individuals and their experiences. I provide a space for healing that is respectful, empowering, and attentive to the unique needs of each person.

Parenting Issues

My expertise extends to parenting issues, focusing on family dynamics and the challenges parents face. I help parents develop effective communication skills, establish boundaries, and navigate the complexities of raising children. Exploring parent-child attachment and the impact of parenting styles on a child's development is a key component.

Premarital and Couple's Therapy

In premarital therapy, I guide couples in building a strong foundation for a healthy marriage. This involves exploring communication styles, conflict resolution, and shared values. In couple's therapy, I address a variety of issues, such as improving communication, rebuilding trust, or navigating major life transitions.

Major Life Transitions

Life is a series of changes, and during these pivotal moments, having support can make a significant difference. Whether you're facing a career shift, a relationship change, or other significant life events, my goal is to provide a compassionate and understanding space where you can explore, process, and adapt to these transitions with resilience and self-discovery.
