About Monica
Hi there!
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) here in Texas, with 6 years of experience working with people from all walks of life.
After navigating some of my own personal life experiences—and knowing firsthand what it feels like to not always feel supported—I made it my mission to become the kind of person I wished I had during those times. Someone safe, steady, and genuinely present. Interestingly, even before I became a therapist, people naturally gravitated toward me to share their life stories. I’ve always cherished that. In fact, my name, Monica, actually means “advisor/counselor”—a reminder that this work has always felt like part of my identity.
As a therapist, I strive to create a warm, nonjudgmental space where you can be fully yourself. I believe you are the expert of your own life, and I’m here to be your co-pilot—walking alongside you as you explore, grow, and move toward healing. My style is interactive, compassionate, and grounded in mutual trust and collaboration. Also, I value humor, creativity, honesty, and authenticity in the therapy room.
If you’re looking for a space where you can feel truly seen and supported, I’d be honored to walk that path with you.
