The seeds of strength are in vulnerability itself.
Hi I’m Monika,
I’m glad you found your way here. I offer both EMDR and traditional talk therapy, drawing from DBT, CBT, IFS, and attachment-focused modalities.
My background & approach
I work with children, adults, couples, and families as they navigate life transitions, relational challenges, trauma, and identity work. In talk therapy, we’ll explore how past experiences shape present patterns and work on building emotional regulation, boundaries, and communication skills. In EMDR, we’ll use specialized protocols and body-based techniques to reduce trauma responses, process painful memories, and support deeper nervous system healing.
Together, we’ll identify practical tools to ease distress, break free from old patterns, and build healthier relationships with others and with yourself.
