Hi there, I'm Melissa!

With 20 years of experience in the field of social services and 12 years as a licensed professional, I am here to help you navigate challenges and move toward a better place. My focus is primarily on trauma, especially Narcissistic and Antagonistic abuse, but throughout my career, I have worked with individuals facing a wide range of situations.

My focus

My practice primarily focuses on trauma, with an emphasis on narcissistic and antagonistic abuse by parents and partners. I also work with individuals dealing with ADHD, Oppositional Defiant Disorder, Generalized Anxiety Disorder, parenting challenges, and legal justice concerns.

My approach

I approach therapy with a person-centered focus, informed by a feminist perspective that addresses the societal, cultural, and political factors contributing to mental and behavioral health challenges. I integrate a variety of therapeutic techniques, including CBT, DBT, CPT, psychoeducation, and many more.
