Hi there, I'm Melissa!

I specialize in working with adults and teenagers with a variety of issues, including anxiety, depression, stress, addiction, and trauma. I believe that everyone has a purpose. Every journey is unique and comes with challenges, and therapy is a great way to help you along your journey.

My focus

Whether you're working through trauma, building coping skills, or exploring your personal goals, I'll work with you to create a plan for growth that feels empowering and achievable.

My approach

I use cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) to help you identify and reshape unhelpful thought patterns. I am also trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Motivational Interviewing. These hands-on approaches give you tools to feel more in control of your emotions and behaviors.
