Hello, I’m Melissa. I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker and earned my Master of Social Work from Boston University. I specialize in supporting individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, and major life transitions.
Life can feel overwhelming at times. Stress, anxiety, depression, relationship conflict, and major life changes can make it hard to feel steady or hopeful. And when you’ve been through difficult or painful experiences, those feelings can hit even harder. You don’t have to sort through it all alone. Therapy can be a place to slow down, breathe, and find support that feels steady and grounded. When life feels heavy or confusing, feeling safe, understood, and supported matters. I offer a calm, compassionate, and nonjudgmental space where you can share openly and explore your experiences at your own pace. My approach is collaborative and centered on your needs. I draw from a variety of evidence-based and trauma-informed approaches to help you better understand your emotions, build resilience, and develop practical tools to navigate life's challenges with greater confidence and self-awareness.
In your first session, we’ll take time to explore what brought you to therapy, discuss your goals, and start developing strategies to move forward. You can expect a gentle space to explore what you've been carrying and feel more grounded and supported. My goal is to help you feel empowered to make meaningful changes, improve relationships, and create a more balanced, confident, and fulfilling life.
