Great to meet you!

Melissa specializes in working with people from many walks of life -from those that are just looking to become more aware of their internal patterns to those with specific goals. She has experience working in high stress environments, with clients who have issues related to mental health, substance use, trauma, and more. She is also passionate about helping those who are interested in cultivating leadership skills, managing the stress of challenging work environments, supervising staff and employee burnout prevention.

My approach to therapy

Mind, body and spirit must be integrated as part of mental health care and overall wellness. Through authentic connection, Melissa helps clients understand their stress patterns and address them through verbal and nonverbal healing modalities. A session can include talk therapy, guided self acupressure, simple breathing and relaxation techniques.

What you can expect from me

Melissa will work to assess where you would like to start and how she can support your healing journey.
