About My Clients

Individuals who are open to being vulnerable and committed to taking steps toward change may benefit from seeing Monina. She views her primary role as a therapist as one who shows up, listens, and empowers. Through the use of person-centered, systemic modalities (i.e. narrative, feminist), she hopes to collaborate with her clients in fostering improved relationships with their self and others.
