Hi, I’m Mel. I offer therapy for those who are curious about understanding themselves more deeply and want to feel more grounded in their lives and relationships. Many of us find ourselves successful in certain areas of life, yet still feel stuck in familiar emotional patterns - feeling disconnected, overwhelmed, or unsure why certain dynamics feel so painful or difficult to change. My work is informed by somatic approaches, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and attachment-based frameworks, with your lived experience guiding the process. My approach is collaborative, strengths-based, and responsive to you.
Many of us carry shame, guilt, or loneliness that shape how we see ourselves and connect with others. I believe nothing inside you is “too much” or broken. Therapy with me isn’t about fixing you, but helping you feel more connected and at home within yourself. Some sessions may involve challenging emotional patterns; others can simply offer a space to share.
I strive to create a therapeutic space that feels warm, grounded, and genuinely human - where you don’t have to perform or have everything figured out. Whether you’re navigating relationship struggles, life transitions, identity exploration, or simply wanting to understand yourself more deeply, I welcome you as you are.
