Welcome!

My name is Monica and I am pleased that you are visiting my website.  I have been working in the mental health field for over fiifteen years and bring to my practice, compassion, warmth, and clinical expertise.  I am a mother of twin 10 year old girls, a resident of Colorado for 15 years, and an avid outdoor/nature lover.  My passion in life is the work I do as a therapist and being mother. I look forward to meeting and working with you in the future.

My therapeutic orientation would be described as eclectic, drawing on a wide range of different approaches and techniques, however, being strongly grounded in cognitive behavioral techniques.  Clients have described me as warm, compassionate and most importantly, effective.

Monica, Thank-you for your support and direction. Although it is not always easy for me to accept, I value your advice and opinion. Thank-you for your honesty and knowledge of what is best for my daughter. SB

What lies behind us and what lies before us are small matter compared to what lies within us.
