Hi there, I'm Melissa!

If you are seeking to get back to a place where you can enjoy life again, then start here! I enjoy working with individuals & couples on addressing stress, relationships, BPD, parenting, domestic abuse, anger & self-esteem, to name a few. Often, clients reach out to me because they are struggling with life's challenges and just need extra support.

My focus

Because no two clients are alike, I take a client-centered approach. My focus is shaped by the client's past experiences, communication style, challenges, stressors, emotional barriers, and overall goals. Once we identify the root cause, we will collaborate on the best path forward.

My approach

I became a counselor because I know how difficult and overwhelming it can be to open up to someone new. Therefore, we can start gradually and work within your comfort level. Within the first few sessions, we will focus on getting to know each other and your goals.
