Hi there, I'm Melanie!

Are you feeling stuck or overwhelmed by tough situations and life transitions? I would love to take a journey with you to build insight, reduce distress, and regain a sense of control through curiosity and compassion. My goal is for you to know that you have been heard and supported throughout the process.

My focus

My style is practical and collaborative—real tools, real conversations, and strategies that fit your life, with mindfulness or other supports added when they’re helpful. When we work together, we are on the journey together!

My approach

I use cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help you notice and shift unhelpful thought patterns, and motivational interviewing to tap into your own motivation and readiness for change. I also use behavioral activation to help you build routines and activities that naturally lift mood and increase stability. My style is practical and collaborative.
