Hi there, I'm Melissa!

With a genuine desire to empower individuals to overcome their challenges, I have honed my skills in outpatient strength-based, person-centered therapy. I provide a safe place for positive change to improve each person's quality of life, based on their individual needs and goals.

My focus

My experience includes but is not limited to working with individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, mood lability, trauma, low self-esteem, daily stress, life transitions, divorce, family issues, and interpersonal conflicts.

My approach

I utilize a wide range of treatment modalities to provide personalized and client-centered treatment. I draw from multiple evidence-based practices including CBT, Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction, Solution-Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and a variety of techniques from Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT).
