Hi there, I'm Meelynda!

Starting therapy can feel like a big step. I congratulate you on starting your journey and I’m here to make sure that it is meaningful to you. I specialize in working with individuals navigating life transitions, anxiety, depression, & trauma. I take a client-centered, collaborative approach to therapy, tailoring each session to your unique needs.

My focus

Have you been struggling with anxious thoughts and self-doubt? I work with individuals who are managing anxiety, life transitions, and those seeking support for self-esteem issues. Whether you’re working through trauma, building coping skills, or exploring your personal goals, I’ll work with you to create a plan for growth that feels empowering.

My approach

I use cognitive-behavioral therapy to help you identify and reshape unhelpful thought patterns. This approach is hands-on and gives you tools to feel more in control of your emotions and behaviors. Based on your unique needs, I may adapt my approach to include practices like mindfulness and medication. Your goals and progress are my primary focus.
