Hi there, I'm Melanie!

Welcome to a place where your story matters, your challenges are acknowledged, and your path to healing is embraced with compassion. As a multicultural woman with Native American ancestry, I began working in field services and with communities. I am an LCSW, MSW and hold a PPS Credential to work in schools.

My focus

I work with people going through life transitions, relationship struggles, anxiety, medical issues and stress. I also help clients process trauma, boost self-esteem, and set healthier boundaries. Together, we’ll draw on the strengths you already hold and open space for greater choice, deeper self-trust, and more intentional ways of living.

My approach

My style is relational, affirming, and rooted in authenticity. I show up fully present, responsive, and engaged. This is a space where nothing about you is ever too much. There’s no need to edit or censor yourself—your sensitivity, emotions, and inner world are embraced without being minimized or fixed, just met with care.
