Let's Connect!!! The opposite of addiction is CONNECTION! I believe in helping others through a holistic and integrative approach. My motto is... "if you can "name-it, claim-it, you can feel-it, heal-it!" Recovery does not have to be intimidating, shaming or boring! With me there is a guarantee that I will hold space for you to unwind and be yourself. If you are not sure who that is, we will have fun exploring and creating endless possibilities together! Are you ready to change your story?
From someone who has struggled with addiction in the past and with well over 20 years of sobriety, I have done my work, now let me help you do yours! I specialize in the areas of drugs/alcohol, 12-steps/relapse prevention, love/sex/porn addiction, co-dependency, self harm, eating disorders/body dysmorphia, anger management, trauma healing and life coaching.
Together we will address and work through underlying problems and/or trauma that contributes to negative ways of coping, just to survive. Recovery is not for people who need it, recovery is for people who want it! You are not alone on this journey! If you are interested in hearing more, reach out, I'm just an email away!

Melissa is dynamic! She has a fantastic personality and is a joy to be around. She helps you work through your stuff, but does it so you want to come back, even when it's hard. She celebrates with you on the good days and is there on the bad ones.

Melissa has more knowledge and experience in the field of substance abuse disorders and treatment than any practitioner you could hope to meet! But more than that, Melissa really sees, embraces, and celebrates people and their lived experiences.
