Great to meet you!

You don’t have to keep holding it all together by yourself. Whether you’re navigating the pressures of parenting, the heartbreak of fertility struggles, or the quiet grief of miscarriage—you’re not alone. You want peace, clarity, and stronger connections, but it’s hard to know where to start when you’re always the one holding everything up. Hi, I’m Melana—a therapist and single mother by choice. I understand the emotional complexity of family building, especially when it doesn’t follow the traditional path. I hold space for the full range of your experience with compassion and clinical care.

My approach to therapy

I work with individuals, couples, and families who are ready to explore what’s not working—and start making changes they’re proud of. My approach is grounded, compassionate, and practical. I use evidence-based methods like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), solution-focused techniques, and strength-based strategies to help you gain clarity and momentum.

What you can expect from me

If you’re ready to design a life with more joy, peace, and meaningful relationships, I’d be honored to walk with you. Let’s figure it out—together.
