Hi there, I'm Melissa!

I try to provide a safe and private space where someone can process their feelings and emotions and discuss the difficulties they are experiencing without judgment. I like to help people find solutions to the problems they are having and help them continue living their lives without their traumas or their past weighing them down.

My focus

Some clients need room to vent, some clients want to understand their motivations, and some clients have goals they want to set for themselves to mark their improvement. I am willing to work with anyone regardless of problem area, sexual orientation, religion, or political stance.

My approach

The first session is generally meant to build a rapport and to assess the history of what your experiences have been. I also like to determine what your personal goals are in regard to what you want to accomplish in therapy.
