Finding a therapist that is the right fit for you is a crucial first step to a successful therapeutic experience. My approach to therapy is client-centered, meaning that I will work collaboratively with you to tune into your struggles, explore new and creative ways to cope, and strengthen your ability to manage your emotional experiences. I believe in using art in conjunction to traditional talk based therapy, as I have seen it provides an alternative way of expressing oneself for children, adolescents, young adults, geriatric clients, and on an inpatient psychiatric unit.

Do you find yourself having difficulty communicating with others? Do you want to make a career change? Do you want to make other life transitions?

I am happy to share that I have openings in my practice for older teens (17+), young adults, and adults.

Anxiety, worry and self-doubt are perhaps the most common and widespread challenges faced by children today. From every area of their lives, children face daunting pressures and demands. For those already anxious or vulnerable, these pressures maybe be overwhelming. Already primed for frustration or failure, such children may find navigating key developmental transitions - from childhood to grade school, for example, or from pre-adolescence to the teen years - difficult if not impossible. Parents may have tried other interventions or therapies; but often with little or no success. What's a concerned parent to do?

Melissa has more than 6 years experience working as a therapist with diverse cultures and ages.

She is an compassionate therapist. Her goal is to help clients feel safe & while exploring their concerns and challenges.

My clients often struggle with relationship issues stemming from early childhood trauma; this results in coping mechanisms that work, but may carry a big price tag. They may grapple with sexual abuse, partner violence, sexual orientation and/ or disability related issues. Often, these manifest as substance abuse, cutting, communication problems or self- isolating behaviors. They may have friends and family members who do not truly "see" them, and as a result their own view of self is dim. Other clients are coping with situational anxiety and depression related to Covid, and need to establish safety, structure and hope.

Accepting Clients! My goal is to support you by providing a safe, accepting environment for self-exploration. Through a relational and trauma-informed approach, I am committed to affirming the experiences and journeys of everyone I work with by providing the spaces necessary to work towards positive change. I specialize in work focused on gender identity, sexual orientation, and identity intersections. My practice is driven by the belief that no one should ever feel “less than" because of their gender identity/expression, sexuality, or any other attribute of their personhood.
