As an autistic person herself, Melissa is passionate about working with neurodivergent individuals and operates from a neuroaffirmative lens. Melissa prioritizes collaboration in the therapeutic process, believing that each person is the expert of their life–every person is different, with a unique set of lived experiences, identities, and perspectives, so she believes that treatment should be unique to each person, too. Treatment involves community and self-advocacy, incorporating intersectional cultural identities, supporting clients’ personal treatment goals, fostering self-compassion, and building community support.

"Empathy has no script" as eloquently put by the foremost researcher on the subject, Brene Brown. There is no right or wrong way to do it. It is simply listening, holding space, withholding judgement, connecting and communicating the healing message that you are not alone in the struggle you are having at this time.

Whether you are single or partnered, asexual or allosexual, sweetest vanilla or practiced kinkster, you know that there isn't a one-size-fits-all approach to intimacy. My clients are people who recognize that sexual wellness contributes to mental health just as much as other forms of wellness. Sexual wellness isn't just in the bedroom, it's how we talk to each other, it's how we show and give affection, it's how we define intimacy and practice being vulnerable, playful, and compassionate. Sometimes it's difficult to do these things and that gets in the way of connection. How do you want to connect with others? With yourself?
