Welcome
to Strength Redefyned, where your needs are the priority. There's strength in vulnerability and giving yourself grace.
I am passionate about serving fellow providers and other professionals. Often times, driven and highly motivated Black professionals experience anxiety and high levels of stress that can present as feeling anxious, over-tired, nervous, difficulty concentrating, as well as other commonly overlooked symptoms.
The demands of your career and personal life can create fatigue, whether physical and/or emotional.

Testimonials
"I spent roughly 4 months doing counselling with Monique on issues such as anxiety, relationship issues and self esteem.
As someone who was new to counselling, I was very nervous about it. Monique always made me feel comfortable and was very understanding when I was talking about the issues I was facing. She helped me set goals and work towards them in a very supportive and constructive way, with great feedback and at a pace I was comfortable with. She is flexible and responsive. Very grateful to have had her support through a challenging time in my life.

SERVICES
Marriage & Couples Counseling
Couples counseling is an opportunity to explore where you are, how you arrived there and how you can get to where you want to be.
Individual Counseling
It takes strength to give yourself permission to struggle at times. It takes courage and wisdom to operate in the strength of vulnerability.
