Monica specializes in working with adolescents and adults struggling with eating disorders, body image concerns, self-esteem, and the underlying shame that is often associated with these experiences. She also has a special interest in working with caregivers who are supporting their loved ones through recovery.
Monica believes that knowledge can be incredibly freeing in the recovery process. The more you come to understand the various experiences that have contributed to your eating disorder, and how these symptoms are currently working as a way to cope with painful emotions, the more empowered you become.
