Great to meet you!

I work with clients from diverse backgrounds, specializing in clients who identify as members of the LGBTQ+ community. I use mindfulness, trauma informed therapy, grief informed treatment, CBT, and other modalities to provide each client with the treatment that best fits their needs.

My approach to therapy

With a goal to improve overall well-being, Melissa partners with clients to develop healthy boundaries, improve communication, and adopt effective grounding techniques.

What you can expect from me

As Carl Rogers said, “The good life is a process, not a state of being. It is a direction, not a destination.” I encourage clients to speak openly about what they value most and what they want to achieve through therapy. I strive to make the process a collaborative experience where clients feel empowered to transform their lives and maintain positive change.
