Hi there, I'm Melissa!

Life can feel overwhelming when you're facing anxiety, stress, relationship challenges, or life transitions. With over 10 years of experience, I provide a warm, supportive space where you'll feel heard, build on your strengths, and develop practical tools for lasting change.

My focus

I've worked with children, teens, and adults experiencing a wide range of challenges, including anxiety, depression, ADHD, pregnancy and postpartum concerns, stress, relationship issues, and life transitions. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where clients feel understood, empowered, and equipped with practical tools for growth.

My approach

My approach is personalized and collaborative. I draw from CBT, attachment-based therapy, mindfulness, and trauma-informed care to support your goals. Together, we’ll find tools that fit your needs and help you create meaningful, lasting change.
