Hi there, I'm Melissa!

If you or your child is feeling worried, sad, or is having trouble managing changes in your lives, therapy can give you a space to talk about your struggles and help you learn the tools you need to make lasting change. If we work together, I can provide talk therapy or play therapy to ensure that your treatment is specifically meeting your needs.

My focus

My areas of specialty include working with children and their families, and with adults experiencing overwhelm and anxiety. I also work with individuals who desire to include faith-based practices in their therapeutic work. I am fluent in Spanish and am passionate about working with Spanish-speaking individuals and families.

My approach

I believe in providing a supportive and encouraging environment in which you can feel safe to express yourself. I am here to support you!
