Christian Counseling 

LaMonica’s perspective toward her work is more than just a career, but rather a calling on her life that she became well aware of and answered at a very tender age.  Out of this call her personal mission statement was birthed, which is to live a life of wholeness in abundance and to bring healing, restoration and inspiration to others.  LaMonica fulfills her personal mission statement through many different modalities but particularly thoroughly enjoys the vehicle of Christian Counseling. She embraces and works with clients of all faiths in a non-judgmental manner.
