Since 2009, Sean has been sharing hope, humor, and authenticity with his clients. He specializes in serving teenagers and adults to help deal with depression, anxiety, anger, and addiction issues. Additionally, he has extensive experience in counseling with Veterans and first responders with unique trauma experiences. Sean is highly effective in helping people heal hurts they have carried and often have kept secret or hidden from others. Sean’s passion is seeing people develop new chapters in life-to the point that those closest to them take notice-as they broaden their understanding of themselves and others.

Sean treats those who are struggling with: depression, social and performance anxiety, anger, relationship issues, trauma, post-traumatic stress, addiction recovery, substance abuse, grief and loss. Sean’s inclusive counseling approach draws from a variety of psychological, behavioral, and spiritual approaches to address the unique needs of each client. He is client-centered and develops a series of interventions that balance challenging thought processes without feeling shame.
 
Beyond doing talk therapy, Sean has specialized training in EMDR and Brainspotting, which uses neuropsychotherapy to process issues related to trauma, PTSD, anxiety, and loss, often more quickly than traditional talk-therapies. EMDR and Brainspotting allow for healing from “triggers” that lead to trauma symptoms and emotional distress, by resetting them to bring about neurological and emotional healing. People experiencing intense emotions, losing energy or “oomph,” or feeling overwhelmed and pulled a million different ways, find that EMDR and Brainspotting provide lasting changes to handle the stressors of everyday life without the same difficulty as before.  

Prior to private practice, Sean worked as the primary EMDR clinician for two Veteran’s Affairs PTSD clinics. Sean has also worked as a director and clinician for individuals working toward addiction recovery in South Florida, as well as in community mental health working with teenagers, young adults, and their families.

​Sean and his wife, Stevie, have been married since 2014 and enjoy traveling (especially anywhere with a beach), searching for the best local food and coffee spots, going for excessive amounts of walks as well as learning to cook new meals together.

Monica believes that taking the leap into therapy can be really scary, and wants you to know she will be there to receive you with compassion and a sincere desire to hear and understand you.

She believes that life experiences shape the way we see and feel about ourselves, others, and the world. Trauma, or any disturbing event, can significantly distort these perceptions. This includes humiliation or betrayal; abuse; accidents; witnessing or experiencing natural disasters; or any other event that has been hurtful or disturbing, either from the distant or recent past.

When life experiences are harmful or traumatic, we can feel stuck, and unable to move on. This can be overwhelming and defeating, and can often lead to a sense of hopelessness and despair. I would like to walk with you on the path that leads to healing so that you can feel like a whole person again.

Monica treats adults who are struggling with: trauma, post-traumatic stress, depression, anxiety, and relationship issues. She uses several different modalities focused on the needs and strengths of each individual client or couple and has received specialized training in EMDR to help process complex trauma. She treats children with behavioral issues using play therapy and works with couples going through divorce on co-parenting skills.

Prior to private practice Monica spent fifteen years working with complex trauma survivors in an International non-profit organization where she specialized in working with survivors of intimate partner violence, survivors of sex trafficking, at-risk children, refugees and those struggling with substance abuse and homelessness.

Monica has two children and is the curator of their personal art gallery. She loves to cook international foods, hike, read series with her boys, and explore the world. In her spare time you can find her adding books to her wish list, lost in the woods with her dog while picnicking with her boys, serving the community through her church, or in Italy enjoying a coffee at a café.
