VERIFIED PATIENT TESTIMONIAL

Hi there, I'm Mel!

I help clients work through their problems and gain a better understanding of their conflicts. Whether you're facing a crisis or seeking growth, I support your exploration toward a successful therapeutic outcome.

My focus

I work with individuals, couples, and families—including gay and straight clients—addressing communication skills, adapting to new life situations, depression, loss and grief, anxiety, early childhood trauma, and substance use.

My approach

There is no one-size-fits-all approach to therapy. Together, we will find which approach works best for you. My approach is relationship-focused toward a secure attachment.
