Hello, I'm Melissa! I'm a licensed independent social worker/licensed independent chemical dependency counselor who specializes in PTSD/trauma, but I see clients with a variety of concerns including depression, anxiety and life transitions. I pride myself on being body positive, LGBTQIA+ affirming and allied with the poly/ENM community.
My therapeutic style is eclectic and rooted in evidence-based practices, including TF-CBT and EMDR. I have served many different client populations, including adults who have experienced incarceration, substance use, and religious trauma.
My primary goal as your clinician is to ensure that you feel safe, comfortable and supported. Beyond that, my goal is to help you on your healing journey by equipping you with new coping skills, working on communication and boundaries, processing trauma both verbally and through EMDR and any other unique goals that you have.
