Melissa is a Clinical Counsellor dedicated to supporting individuals and families. She has extensive experience working with depression, grief, anxiety, major life transitions, stress, addiction issues and more, using a client-centered, trauma-informed approach. She completed her practicum at Island Community Counselling, where she trained in play therapy, working with children, youth, adults, and Indigenous communities. With a background in Reflexology and Reiki, she integrates holistic healing into her practice. She fosters resilience through strong therapeutic relationships, creating a safe space for growth and healing.
I use Mindfulness-based stress reduction, Play therapy, Art therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dilectical Behavior Therapy, and Reiki (I am a Reiki Master/Teacher).
I understand that life can feel overwhelming at times, and seeking support takes strength. Whether you’re facing anxiety, grief, stress, or other challenges, I’m here to help you navigate through them with compassion and care. If you feel ready to take the next step, I invite you to reach out to me—let’s work together toward healing and growth.
