About me

Hello! I’m Monica, a clinical psychologist trained in cognitive-behavioral psychotherapy. Do you ever feel like you're operating on fast-forward, unsure of where you’re going? Have you caught yourself running away from certain feelings, only for them to come back stronger than ever? Or maybe you’ve noticed that the behaviors that once protected you are now getting in your way? I became a psychologist because I wanted to better understand these challenges and offer the kind of support that I myself found so valuable. Think of therapy as a journey through an intricate labyrinth – a unique winding path, traveled at your own pace. Sometimes it feels clear and motivating; other times, it can be confusing and a little scary. We often wish for quick answers to our problems and to reach the finish line as quickly as possible, but let’s face it: the path isn’t always linear. It’s not just about fixing what’s broken; it’s about moving through the twists and turns with more understanding, courage and (self-)compassion. In our sessions, I want to create an environment where you feel safe, where every emotion or thought becomes an opportunity to learn and grow. Whether we're dealing with intense emotions, complex relationships, the struggle to move on from a painful past, or the temptation to avoid an uncertain future, we'll work together to uncover what's holding you back and find the resources that help you thrive at any stage of your journey. We’ll explore tools from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) and schema therapy (ST, CST), all tailored to what you need. If you resonate with me, I'm here to listen. The first session is free, giving you a chance to see if we’re a good fit.
