Great to meet you!

I’m Melinda, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker offering individual and couples therapy to adults across Florida via telehealth. I specialize in helping people work through anxiety, depression, and trauma, including the impact of difficult life experiences and painful relationship dynamics.

I'm trained in EMDR, and also draw from Attachment-Based Therapy and Emotionally Focused Therapy to support deeper emotional healing and more secure connections with others and with yourself.

My approach to therapy

We invest time and energy in the parts of our lives that matter most, but what could be more crucial than your relationship with yourself? How you feel about yourself affects every area of your life: your relationships, your work, your sense of purpose and peace. Therapy is a space where you can tend to that relationship with compassion, clarity, and support.

What you can expect from me

Whether you're facing personal disappointments, challenges in your relationships, struggles with parenting, or the aftershocks of trauma, therapy offers a place to process, heal, and grow. Let’s work together to make sense of what feels overwhelming. You don’t have to face it alone. Together, we can create meaningful change and help you reconnect with your strongest, most authentic self.
