Great strength and resilience can emerge in even the most challenging times.My goal is to help you tap into these inner resources as a pathway toward healing from trauma, anxiety, depression, and loss. I understand that reaching out for support can feel vulnerable, but often, meaningful change begins the moment you take that first step.
In our work together, we’ll focus on developing a healthier and more balanced relationship with the experiences and emotions you’re navigating. Using a holistic approach that integrates mind, body, and self, I support clients in cultivating awareness, compassion, and practical strategies for healing.
For over 25 years, Melissa has supported individuals through life’s most difficult moments—helping them navigate anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, life transitions, and relationship challenges. Melissa takes a caring, whole-person approach that honors every part of your experience, not just the challenges you’re facing,
Each session is uniquely shaped around where you are and what you need most in the moment. Together, we will explore your goals with a variety of evidence-based approaches designed to support healing and growth. These may include Psychodynamic Therapy, Somatic Experiencing, DBT, CBT, Creative Arts Therapy, Internal Family Systems and Grief Counseling.
