Hi there, I'm Melissa!

Starting therapy can feel like a big step, and I'm here to make it meaningful. I offer a nonjudgmental, client-centered space where we collaborate on your goals. I specialize in helping individuals navigate life transitions, anxiety, depression, and trauma. When stressors throw life out of balance, you need support to adjust and tools to respond.

My focus

My focus is for you to feel heard and understood. I work with adolescents and adults navigating changes and transitions. I'm experienced with depression, anxiety, and interpersonal conflicts, and I'm committed to cultural competence. I help clients gain greater understanding, personal growth, and improved well-being.

My approach

I work with clients using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Structural Family Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and mindfulness techniques to improve functioning. Through compassion and empathy, I support those ready to make a positive difference in their lives.
