Hi there, I'm Melissa!

I work with young and older adults navigating anxiety, depression, PTSD, and life transitions. My style is warm and collaborative. I use practical tools to help you better understand your thoughts and emotions, manage stress, and make positive changes using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.

My focus

I work with young and older adults and the elderly, with a deep awareness of how culture and life experiences shape mental health. I offer therapy in English and Spanish and always aim to create a supportive, trauma-informed space. I help clients navigate PTSD, anxiety, depression, relationships, aging, and life transitions.

My approach

I create a safe, supportive space where you feel heard and understood. My approach blends mindfulness, client-centered, and solution-focused strategies to help you manage emotions and current challenges. I also draw from CBT and trauma-informed care to explore how past experiences may shape your present.
