Great to meet you!

Hi Im Melissa! I've been a mental health counselor for over 6 years. I love hearing your story and working with you to unravel patterns in thought and behavior and learn new skills for healthier living. I have special experience working with individuals with anxiety disorders and chronic ailments.

My approach to therapy

I value curiosity and connection. I entered this field with an understanding that taking care of our minds is essential to living healthy, fulfilling lives. I believe an important element of a healthy mind is healthy supports. I place emphasis on building a collaborative relationship, where with warmth and some good humor, we can figure out together what a healthy mind might look like for you.

What you can expect from me

My hope is to create a welcoming environment where you feel at ease to share honestly and openly the things most meaningful to you. Together my intent is to get you curious about yourself and in turn evoke meaningful change that will enhance your every day.
