I have years of experience helping adults define health on their own terms. Our healthcare system can be difficult to navigate - I have both personal and professional experience with this. These experiences have sculpted my practice into one that holds healthcare to a higher standard, empowers clients to confidently embrace the aging process, and always prioritizes quality of life.

Leveraging nearly two decades of expertise as a carpenter alongside a decade of dedicated practice in occupational therapy, I specialize in supporting individuals and their caregivers by enhancing safety, accessibility, and functionality within the home environment.  I use my dual background to ensure their living spaces are both practical and empowering.

After working in traditional frontline healthcare as an occupational therapist while also advocating for improved home-based care thru a former podcast, Monika aka "Mo" is proud to be part of an innovative non-profit team in Mesa, AZ which has now been awarded back-to-back grants from the Administration for Community Living to address improved care for those living with dementia. As a result, this non-profit, Oakwood Creative Care (which started by offering day club experiences nearly 50 years ago) is now home to Arizona's first Outpatient Clinic offering evidence-based dementia care. She understands that many situations related to living safe and meaningfully at home with dementia do not fit a general solution. This is why she loves using evidence-based processes for working collaboratively with families to identify tailored solutions that spark JOY and prolong living well at home to these often highly complex scenarios.
