Great to meet you!

Melissa brings to the sacred task of work with people real education in theory and method, grounded in common sense, hope, and joy. She believes in the capacity people have to tell their own stories, gaining insight, creating new meaning. With a doctorate in trauma studies, resilience occurs when people open their hearts to their own capacity to change.

A bit about my approach to therapy

Narrative therapy helps people heal more thoroughly, productively, and in ways that expand to new horizons and relationships.

What you can expect from our first session

You can expect to have one or more new insights after each session that either help make sense of a problem or history in a new way, or an understanding about the purpose and meaning of your own life that inspires hope.
