Hi there, I'm Melissa!
Thank you for reaching out; taking this step is commendable. I've worked with diverse individuals whose life experiences shape their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors in challenging ways. Discussing these events in a safe, non-judgmental environment can be incredibly healing while we address immediate symptoms and develop coping skills.
My focus
My ideal clients are ready to deepen their understanding, gain skills, and feel better daily. We work on identifying red and green flags in relationships to increase emotional safety and develop lasting supports within healthcare and community systems.
My approach
My practice is solution-focused and trauma-informed, emphasizing your existing strengths as a foundation for growth. My style is informal, incorporating humor and positive reinforcement. I provide ongoing resources for continued learning and frequently recommend work on trauma, relationship dynamics, and emotional safety.
