Monique trained at Wayne State University and practices in a private setting in Michigan. She offers weekday evening and weekend appointment times to fit different schedules. Her work is oriented toward adults seeking direction after changes in work, relationships, or health.

Approach to evidence-based work and online sessions
Monique describes her work as person-centered and strength-based, which means she starts by identifying a client's existing strengths and practical goals. This approach focuses on building steps clients can try between sessions to address stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, or feelings of isolation.She also uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that emphasize practical skills. For example, approaches that teach emotion regulation and coping skills help with anger and anxiety by giving concrete ways to reduce distress. Techniques that focus on behavioral changes and small experiments can help with social anxiety, depression, and exploring life purpose by creating manageable actions and reviewing results together.
Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Monique works with each person to decide which techniques fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She checks in regularly and adapts the plan when something isn’t helpful, so therapy stays aligned with what the client wants to accomplish.
