Persistent experiences of anxiety, sadness, fear, and anger and as well as addictive behaviors inform the psyche (the soul, the spirit, the mind) it needs healing. Monika is a graduate of Divine Mercy University and the Green Cross Academy of Traumatology and is formed to treat clients holistically using best practices of psychology combined within Catholic Christian theological and philosophical principles. Foundational is the client’s goodness, created out of love in the image of God, with an inherent orientation to flourish in relationships and life circumstances by drawing on one’s relationship with God and adopting and maintaining good habits, or virtues, in behaviors and communications with others and oneself. Monika’s philosophy is that God’s love is the ongoing source of healing and support. 

​

Monika works with children, adolescents, and adults in individual therapy. Her goal is to foster hope, trust, and a sense of accomplishment in equipping clients with new skills using age-appropriate therapeutic techniques such as Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and play therapy.  Monika is IFS (Internal Family Systems) and DBT (Dialectical Behavioral Therapy) informed. 

​

Monika is married and has 3 children. She enjoys spending time with her family and friends, traveling, being in nature, listening to music, and prayer.
