Our lives are stories and we all want them to be stories worth telling, that give us hope. Maybe you long to rewrite the story you are living. I believe everyone has the ability to change their story. Whether you are a couple, a family, or an individual, you can have hope. I desire to walk alongside you in your struggles and help you to forge a new path. Sometimes all it takes is a listening ear; sometimes it takes long, hard work. But you have the choice-to step out in courage and to start writing a new story.
We are comprised of mind, body, and spirit, and I believe in holistic treatment that addresses all three. Whether you are seeking treatment as a couple or individual, I want to help you, as a whole person, find hope and healing.
Depending on your particular needs and experiences, I draw from several different treatment models, including Emotionally Focused Therapy, Gottman Method Couples Therapy, and client-centered therapy. I have completed Level 2 training in the Gottman Method.

Melanie has a unique way of balancing the safety she provides with direct interventions that are helpful to you & what you're needing at any given time. She also works with a wide range of humans and is great with all of them! I'd recommend her (and Luna).
