Hi there, I'm Melissa!

Embarking on a journey of self-discovery and healing through therapy requires courage. Congratulations on taking these important first steps toward reaching your personal goals! Whether this is your first experience with therapy or you are looking to resume therapy, I will be here to meet you where you are at.

My focus

Have you reached a place in your life journey where you find yourself ready to work at developing a deeper understanding of who you are? I work with adults of all ages who are on this very path, just like you. Whether it be relationship issues, understanding your behaviors, managing anxiety, depression, or processing trauma and grief.

My approach

As a therapist, I enjoy taking an eclectic approach in my therapeutic style. Making use of evidence-based approaches, such as client-centered therapy, solution-focused therapy, and narrative therapy, I provide my clients with a nonjudgmental and authentic experience. I will be coaching you, supporting you, and encouraging you.
