Approach to care

I take a flexible approach, helping people reach their goals and live healthier lives on their own terms. My counseling style will never include finger wagging or shaming you for what you “aren’t doing right”. I meet you where you are, and will celebrate progress rather than expect perfection. You will feel heard and supported while we are working together. I want to know YOU - what is going on in your life, what your goals and challenges are. I take a whole-person approach - meaning I won’t just ask you what you’re eating but how you’re sleeping, what stress you have in your life, what kind of movement you’re getting, how your digestive health is, and more - so that we can identify what areas need the most support.

Your first session with Monique

Our initial sessions are usually just getting to know each other and coming up with a game plan for the future. I want to know where you are coming from, so that we can better plan for the journey ahead. We will discuss expectations and timelines so that you know what to expect when making changes. We may even come up with different challenges to try before our next session. During future visits, we’ll review how the challenges went, if any barriers popped up and strategies we can use to work around them. I want you to get to a place where you no longer need me and feel confident in what you are doing to support your health.
