Let's Connect (508) 938-8549

Welcome! I’m Melissa, and I specialize in treating anxiety disorders, OCD, disordered eating, and relational wounds. Licensed in Massachusetts and New York, I work with adults who feel overwhelmed by life’s challenges. You may turn to avoidance, which provides temporary relief but ultimately keeps you stuck in a cycle of anxiety and missed opportunities. You might feel caught in a thought loop that’s hard to break, or struggle with perfectionism, people-pleasing, conflict, or setting boundaries. If any of this resonates, you don’t have to navigate it alone.

I use a variety of approaches to help you navigate your emotions with care, compassion, and transparency. Together, we’ll work on staying present with tough feelings, processing them safely, learning practical coping strategies, and implementing new behaviors, ultimately helping you make meaningful changes that align with what’s authentic for you.

Reaching out for help is hard enough, and figuring out where to start can feel overwhelming. I offer free initial consultations by phone or video so you can get a sense of who I am, how I work, and whether it feels like a good fit. Together, we’ll create a space where you feel safe being yourself and supported as you move toward the life you want.

I often combine the structured, evidence-based strategies of the Unified Protocol with the mindfulness and acceptance-based practices of ACT. Some sessions might focus on skill building, while others might focus on detaching from unhelpful thoughts, anchoring yourself in the present, and setting concrete actionable goals that are aligned with your personal values.
