Hi there, I'm Mel!

If your brain feels like it has too many browser tabs open, therapy can be the place where we slow down and navigate them together. I work with people facing anxiety, life transitions, and relationship stress, and I bring warmth, humor, and compassion to the process.

My focus

I work with clients managing anxiety, self-doubt, and life transitions, whether that's starting a new chapter, rebuilding after loss, or learning how to set healthier boundaries. I support those working through relationship challenges, past trauma, self-exploration, or the day-to-day stress of balancing everything.

My approach

My approach is collaborative, trauma-informed, and tailored to each person's needs. I believe therapy works best when it feels like a conversation, not a lecture, so I bring warmth, compassion, and a touch of humor into our sessions. When helpful, I'll guide you in tuning into your body for insight.
