Great to meet you!

My name is Dr. Mel. I have worked in the mental health field for over 20 years. Helping others has been my greatest accomplishments I utilize a creative, holistic focus to treatment which motivates clients to take an active roll in their healing. In addition to an holistic approach, I also encourage empowerment and solution-focussed tools to help individuals on their journey to healing and establishing a balanced life.

My approach to therapy

My approach to therapy varies depending on each individuals need. However, I often use Cognitive strategies to help individuals thinking about their circumstances and process coping skills uniques for them. I draw from Mindfulness techniques, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focussed and Strength Based approaches to help build confidence and greater self-esteem.

What you can expect from me

A different way of thinking and seeing the world. A healthier perspective on life and increased motivation and positiveness as they deal with embedded challenges while building coping skills, hopefulness, and increased happiness.
