I'm Monija π Iβm a Registered Psychotherapist, but thatβs only one part of my story...
πIβve survived a war.
πIβve been lost at sea for over 20h and 20 miles off shore...learning what surrender and trust really mean.
πI married a military man, and life taught me early about resilience, goodbyes, and holding steady in uncertainty.
πI'm a mom to two incredible humans (14 & 10) who keep me humble, laughing, and growing.
My home is full of kids, laughter, and 3 cats and 2 dogs, and the kind of chaos that somehow feels like belonging.
πI practice EMDR, Attachment Therapy, and Emotionally Focused Therapy because I know, personally and professionally, that trauma lives in the body, relationships heal wounds, and safety is something we build together.
I do my best thinking near the ocean π€·ββοΈ
I belong on the beach, barefoot, breathing salt air.
European at heart, I carry old-world depth, story, and soul wherever I go.
I work with PTSD, CPTSD, and BPD, not from a place of βfixing,β but from deep respect for survival.
Because healing isnβt about becoming someone new,
itβs about coming home to who you were before the world asked too much of you.
ππThis work didnβt just choose me...my life prepared me for it ππ
