Hi! I'm Melissa, an LCSW who's passionate about helping people feel understood, supported, and empowered. With years of experience as a therapist in special education and private practice, I bring patience, compassion, and a real belief in your ability to grow. Together, we'll explore what's getting in the way and build toward the version of you that feels confident, capable, and grounded.
My approach to therapy is rooted in a strengths-based perspective, helping you recognize what’s already within you and build from there. I support clients in boosting self-esteem, improving emotional regulation, and reframing negative thought patterns that keep them stuck. My sessions are also tailored to your unique individual needs. Together, we will work toward creating a more balanced, fulfilling life that feels aligned with who you are!
Our first meeting is designed to help you settle in and feel at ease. We’ll talk about what brought you to therapy, what you hope might change, and what has been affecting you day to day. I’ll listen and work with you to start building a plan that fits your needs.
