Hi there, I'm Melissa!
I am a Licensed Mental Health and Substance Abuse Therapist. l explore how early experiences and patterns in thinking, actions, and feelings impact your life. I look for a sense of purpose and meaning that helps you love something about life every day. I hope that we maintain a professional relationship that holds a human connection at its core.
My focus
I work with adults who struggle with both mental health and addiction concerns. Most clients have struggled with severe and persistent mental illness, have experienced trauma, and have struggled to connect with a therapist in the past.
My approach
My approach is humanistic and uses tools from CBT, DBT, and psychodynamic approaches to give you space to become your most authentic self. We will work together to implement healthy boundaries and self-care into your life. We will make meaning of challenging emotions and memories that may come up in therapy.
