Therapy is a process
Whether you are new to therapy or a seasoned client, the therapeutic journey is unique each and every time with every client and therapist.
Does your therapist get you?
My belief is that the therapeutic alliance is the most important component to the sacred work we do together.
"Just because no one else can heal or do your inner work for you; doesn't mean you can, should or need to do it alone."
– Lisa Olivera

Meet Monica
With an Indian father and a Latvian mother, I was raised in an ethnically and culturally diverse family.
Being a white-presenting biracial therapist, cultural awareness and cultural humility are values that are deeply meaningful to me.
I cherish diversity and welcome all LGBTQIA+ identities and orientations to our therapeutic space.
My previous career as a high school sexuality educator and my 26-year career as a fitness trainer, nutrition consultant and wellness coach inform the work I do as a therapist.
As a single mom of three teenagers, I appreciate the constant juggle of navigating relationships and balancing the needs of others while prioritizing my own self-care.
