Hi there, I'm Melissa!

I began practicing as a therapist because I wanted to help people the hardest times of life. Whether you struggle with anxiety, relationship stress, or the pains of new parenthood, I am here to support you in healing past wounds and change present self-defeating patterns, so that you may live a more peaceful, joyful, creative and connected life.

My focus

Are you struggling with anxiety or self-doubt? Maybe you're a new parent and feel overwhelmed by stress. Or feeling held back by old, self-defeating patterns? As your therapist, I will help you step into a more fulfilling and harmonious life. Together, we will build the skills and tools that empower you to achieve this.

My approach

I use cognitive behavioral therapy to help you eliminate self-defeating thoughts and replace them with healthier ones. I may also draw from mindfulness tools and expressive arts therapy to help further healing and growth. The goal is to provide practical tools for managing anxiety, depression, stress, and trauma while improving well-being.
