Monja is a mental health counsellor who specializes in trauma, substance use, and the complex ways they intersect in people’s lives. She creates a compassionate, trauma-informed space where clients feel truly seen and supported.
Her practice serves a diverse community — immigrants navigating cultural transitions, young adults exploring identity and relationships, and individuals across all stages of life facing personal challenges. Whether someone is managing anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, life transitions, burnout, or family conflict, Monja brings both professional expertise and genuine understanding to each session.
Understanding that substance use often stems from deeper wounds, Monja takes a holistic approach that addresses not just symptoms, but root causes. As an Internationally Certified Alcohol and Drug Counsellor registered with the CACCF, she brings specialized training to this work while recognizing how individual struggles ripple through families and communities, offering support that extends beyond the individual to include loved ones when appropriate.
Through evidence-based strategies combined with mindfulness practices, Monja helps clients develop practical skills for setting boundaries, managing stress, and creating lasting change. Her work focuses on building resilience and empowering people to find their path to wellness.
Monja welcomes anyone ready to invest in their mental health and personal growth — whether seeking targeted support for specific challenges or simply wanting to enhance their overall well-being and quality of life.
