Great to meet you!

Embarking on a journey of self-discovery and healing through therapy requires courage. Congratulations on taking these important first steps toward reaching your personal goals!

Hi, my name is Melissa and I specialize in working with individuals who are navigating life transitions, managing anxiety, depression, and trauma.

Whether this is your first experience with therapy or you are looking to resume therapy, I will be here to meet you where you are at. I ensure that I provide you with a safe and supportive environment while you reach your goals is my priority.

My approach to therapy

Have you reached a place in your life journey where you find yourself ready to work at developing a deeper understanding of who you are? I work with adults of all ages who are on this very path, just like you. Whether it be relationship issues, understanding your behaviors, managing anxiety, depression, or processing trauma and grief.

What you can expect from me

As a therapist, I enjoy taking an eclectic approach in my therapeutic style. Making use of evidence-based approaches, such as client-centered therapy, solution-focused therapy, and narrative therapy, I provide my clients with a nonjudgmental and authentic experience. I will be coaching you, supporting you, and encouraging you throughout the way.
