Great to meet you!

Hi, I'm Melissa. I know starting therapy can feel intimidating, especially if you've been holding things in for a long time. As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I strive to create a space that feels warm, steady, and genuine - a place where you can show up exactly as you are. My goal is to offer a supportive, calm space where growth feels possible and change feels sustainable.

My approach to therapy

My approach is warm, client-centered, and grounded. I value curiosity, compassion, and authenticity in the therapy process and I tailor treatment to meet individual needs and goals. Therapy isn't about fixing you - it's about helping you better understand yourself, strengthen emotional resilience, and move towards your heathiest, happiest life.

What you can expect from me

Starting therapy can feel both hopeful and a little nerve-wracking. The first session is a chance for us to get to know each other, to review important topics such as confidentiality, consent, and how therapy works. Therapy is collaborative - we will move through it together.
