Hi there, I'm Melissa!

I work with children and families in my community, supporting them through challenges and helping them build resilience. I create a safe space where families can explore their strengths and work toward meaningful change together.

My focus

I specialize in working with adolescents, teens, and families. I have extensive experience helping clients deal with anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, child abuse or neglect, drug abuse, emotional disturbance, impulsivity, domestic violence, and parenting challenges.

My approach

I believe in a strengths-based approach to therapy. My therapeutic style draws from attachment-based, cognitive behavioral (CBT), family therapy, Gestalt, play therapy, and psychodynamic modalities. I tailor my approach to best support each individual client.
