Dr. Monique earned a Doctorate in Behavioral Health with a primary focus in health psychology from Arizona State University. She also holds a Master's in Mental Health Counseling with an emphasis in Crisis and Trauma from Walden University. She is a longtime therapeutic practitioner who has a unique passion and understanding for working with professionals in the adult industry and sex workers of all sexual expressions. She is contracted with Pineapple Support and works daily to de-stigmatize mental health and sex workers. In her experience, she noticed that sex work is an industry that lacks a safe space for sex workers to be their authentic selves; as a result, her longtime goal has been to connect and help her clients develop better emotional, cognitive, and positive coping skills while valuing, respecting, and providing sex workers with the dignity they deserve. She brings an effective blend of experience, clarity, concern, and action to the therapeutic process in order to maximize treatment outcomes and provide genuine healing and wholeness to her clients so that they can make positive changes in their lives.
