Great to meet you!

Hello there! I’m Melissa, and I'm ready to walk alongside you on your journey toward healing and growth.

My own life has taught me resilience through experiences with loss, infertility, and navigating darker times. These personal challenges have deepened my empathy and shaped my approach to therapy.

Outside of my work, I have been listening to audio books, binging bad tv, fermenting vegetables, and taking walks with my family.

My approach to therapy

As a therapist, I bring warmth, open-mindedness, and a genuine passion for helping people navigate life’s many challenges. My approach to providing clinical care varies from person to person. A few of my most utilized strategies include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Internal Family Systems Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I have practiced therapy for over 12 years and am committed to sharing my genuine care and clinical strategies in order to help you meet your personal goals.

What you can expect from me

Clients will learn valuable skills to better manage difficult thoughts and feelings in order to be more present and engaged in their daily lives.

I’m excited to get to know you and collaborate on your journey toward finding peace and fulfillment.
