Hi there, I'm Melissa!
I'm a trauma therapist who focuses on chronic and acute trauma. My approach is to develop a strong rapport first to create a comfortable and safe setting to work through trauma. I believe all humans are designed to heal and live a full, well-rounded life.
My focus
I typically work with adults of all ages, both men and women. I occasionally work with teenagers who are motivated and want to engage in therapy. I'm most comfortable treating recent traumatic events, complex trauma, depression, and anxiety related to trauma.
My approach
My primary modality is EMDR, and I've had specialty trainings in Recent Traumatic Events, Ego-State Therapy, and attachment theories. I also use DBT and CBT under the EMDR umbrella. EMDR teaches us how our brains are designed to work through experiences and allows the brain to heal the way it needs to, creating permanent and organic change.
