Hi there, I'm Melissa!

Reaching out for support is a brave first step. I work with individuals navigating anxiety, life transitions, relationship challenges, and self-esteem concerns, using a compassionate, client-centered approach. Together, we'll create a space where you feel seen, supported, and empowered to grow.

My focus

I work with individuals, couples, children, and families navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, trauma, relationship dynamics, and emotional regulation. I create an affirming space for BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, neurodivergent, and marginalized communities.

My approach

I provide strength-based therapeutic counseling that honors each individual's unique experiences, identities, and goals. I foster a supportive, judgment-free space where you feel safe to show up as your authentic self. I work collaboratively with you, recognizing you as the primary stakeholder in your healing process.
