Melissa's approach is direct, compassionate, individualized, and authentic. She’ll utilize strategies derived from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectic Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interview (MI), and Modern Attachment Theory (among others) while identifying your strengths to aid you in overcoming your obstacles and realizing your full potential.
Working with me is collaborative, supportive, and action-oriented. I won’t just sit back and listen—I’ll actively work with you to identify what’s keeping you stuck and help you build practical, effective strategies to move forward.
Together, we’ll clarify your goals, process difficult emotions, and challenge patterns that no longer serve you. I am trauma-informed and mindful of how past experiences shape present struggles, and I approach each client with cultural humility, honoring your unique background, identity, and values throughout our work.
