Hi! My name is Monique, and I am the owner of Blooming Abundance Counseling Center and a licensed professional counselor!

I am passionate about serving women who are navigating life’s most tender transitions, including perinatal challenges (postpartum depression/anxiety, infertility), motherhood, grief, trauma, body image concerns, disordered eating, relationship issues, career challenges, and self-esteem struggles.

I earned my undergraduate degree in General Studies from Houston Baptist University (now Houston Christian University) in 2007. I am a former educator, as I served for 6 years as a Special Education teacher. In 2012, I earned my first Master’s degree in Guidance & Counseling, and I served as a school counselor for about 12 years. I earned my most recent Master’s degree in Christian Counseling from Houston Christian University in 2021. I became a fully licensed professional counselor in 2023. Throughout the years, I have received training in Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), disordered eating, body image issues, college and career counseling, and perinatal mental health. 

My approach is culturally sensitive, faith-focused (at your discretion), and rooted in evidence-based techniques, including EMDR, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Person-Centered, and other forms of therapeutic care. Together, we’ll explore your story, uncover resilience, and build a future aligned with your values and purpose.

I enjoy spending time with my husband and children, watching the latest Netflix movie or show, reading personal growth books, and writing in my spare time.
