Hello, and congratulations on taking this step, the process of searching for a therapist can be a lot! I'm Melissa, a trauma therapist with over 20 years of experience working in mental healthcare. I have worked with clients experiencing the effects of all types of trauma, including childhood trauma, relationship trauma, traumatic loss and religious trauma. I have worked with many different client populations, from busy professionals to adults experiencing incarceration to children in the foster care system.
My areas of specialty include trauma processing, depression, anxiety, life transitions and substance use disorders. My therapeutic style is eclectic; I am trained in EMDR, IFS informed and draw from many other evidence-based therapeutic modalities in my practice.
As a person and as a clinician, I pride myself on being sex-positive, body positive, LGBTQIA+ affirming and allied with the poly/ENM community. I practice secular therapy and prioritize providing a safe and comfortable environment where ALL clients can be themselves without fear of judgment.
