More about Monica
- 23 years' experience

- LCSW
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Hawaii. I have been in the field of social services since 2000, starting in Los Angeles, California. I moved to Hawaii in 2006, resuming and growing in my professional career here. I have worked with clients of all ages and diverse backgrounds. My specialty is in co-parenting skill-building, and enhancing parenting skills for families that are struggling with their children's behaviors.
My therapy style is structured and direct. I do so with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I strive to make the best use of my time and yours - focusing on strengths, solutions, and sustainable progress. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, structural, and strategic therapies. You are the expert of your own family. We will create goals, and I will help you with taking the steps to get there. I am here to support and empower you to be the best parent(s) that you can be.
It takes courage to take these first steps toward change. I look forward to working with you to find harmony and fulfillment, and a renewed satisfaction as a parent.
For those of you that don’t want your families to overhear you – I can do lunchtime sessions while you’re at work! Find a private space, or sit in your car. Bring your lunch, and let’s talk!

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions. Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
