She has knocked down some of the walls that I have been struggling with so I enjoy talking to her every week. Breath of fresh air knowing I can have a healthier way of thinking.

If you want someone that will talk to you, and genuinely hear you, like a friend would then Monica is definitely for you.
She does an incredible job of listening and telling you exactly what you need to hear even if sometimes it’s not what you want to hear.
I think she’s so great.
