Hi there, I'm Melissa!

I understand the dynamics of toxic and narcissistic relationships, which are essential to breaking free from the chains you may feel while in these relationships. I can help you make sense of depression, anxiety, and negative thought patterns.

My focus

I value working with survivors of narcissistic abuse, first responders, and law enforcement. I understand the unique challenges these experiences bring and create a space where you can process trauma, rebuild your sense of self, and develop healthier relationship patterns.

My approach

I use Solution-focused, Cognitive Behavioral, and Dialectical Behavioral approaches to help you develop practical skills and shift unhelpful patterns. We'll work together to identify what's working, challenge negative thoughts, and build emotional regulation strategies.
