Great to meet you!

Hi, I'm Melanie! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 28 years of experience as a clinician in a variety of settings. Whether you need to work through some heavy stuff from the past that's been weighing you down or you just want to process some day-to-day work or relationship stress, therapy can be a major step in the right direction toward self-care!

My approach to therapy

I tailor my approach to the needs of each individual or couple. I have extensive experience in treating PTSD, addiction, grief/loss, relationship issues, chronic stress and stage of life issues just to name a few.

What you can expect from me

During our first session we will get to know each other and I will gather some necessary background information. You will be able to ask questions to get to know me too! Then we can make a plan together to determine what we want to work on together as well as a schedule for our sessions.
