Hey there, I'm Melissa (she/they). The folks I work with are often navigating competing demands—perhaps it is the pressures of work or school, relationship needs, society's expectations of us, or an insidious inner critic. These forces often distance us from living authentically to ourselves. Maybe you find yourself giving so much to such forces, you have little left to give yourself. Together, we will explore what needs attention, nurturing, or change. Whatever you are going through, you don't have to go through it alone. You were never meant to.

Did you ever watch Boy Meets World growing up? If yes, skip the next two sentences. If no, then let me set the scene. A 90’s sitcom about the wholesome, suburban Philadelphia Matthews family, who have two teenage sons. The older brother, Eric, bonks his younger brother, Cory, in the forehead and says “Life’s tough, get a helmet.” While I don’t condone violence, I do agree that life can be tough sometimes. While wearing a helmet is beneficial in a lot of scenarios (i.e. riding a bike), it is not so beneficial in the emotional, social, psychological, or theoretical realms.

I really believe in the relationship between a therapist and a client is one of the most important elements in a client's success. Therapy can be a wonderful tool for the variety of life challenges that we all face. Each client will present with their own unique needs and therapy should be tailored to each individually. I work best with clients who are looking to address symptoms of anxiety and depression as well as those who want to change their violent/aggressive behaviors or problematic sexual behaviors but are unclear on the path. I want to help clients work on emotional regulation and enjoying the present moment.

Are you a woman struggling with the complexities of biological, environmental, societal and relational pressures? Or, are you having difficulty with the demands of life and feeling physically, mentally, and emotionally exhausted? You are not alone in this. As women, we live in a society that constantly implies that who we are isn’t enough. But, change is possible. Over the years I’ve developed a specialty working with women who are pregnant or have recently given birth, are struggling with depression, anxiety or self-esteem, or who have a history of experiencing childhood trauma. Oftentimes, my clients identify with all of these.

Just as the Lotus flower grows from a dark place into beauty, seeking treatment for substance use disorder often starts in a tough, dark place. Through counseling and hard work, that journey can lead to a place of light and transformation. I focus on seeing the person first—not their substance use or legal history. My goal is to create a calming, non-judgmental environment where you feel comfortable and supported.
I have been a Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselor since 2018, and have been practicing in the field of substance use since 2015 (starting as a Certified Alcohol And Drug Counselor-CADC ).
