Hi there, I'm Melissa!
I hope that, together, we can identify and move beyond the patterns or experiences that may keep you feeling stuck, and work intentionally toward the goals and life changes that matter most to you. Through collaboration, reflection, and practical skill-building, I aim to support you in creating meaningful progress and lasting growth.
My focus
I most often work with individuals who have experienced trauma. As an Army OIF veteran, I also frequently provide care to other veterans. Those who are serious about their mental health and have a strong desire to make the changes they need to make are the people I enjoy working with the most.
My approach
I practice through the lenses of Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), attachment theory, and existential theory. I believe clients have the capacity to develop their own solutions and that, through a collaborative therapeutic relationship, meaningful movement toward a desired quality of life is possible.
