Hi, I’m Melissa (she/they). I support adults, young adults, and queer folks navigating ADHD, anxiety, depression, grief, and/or life transitions. If you’re feeling big emotions, overwhelmed, or like you’re never quite “getting it together,” I may be the therapist for you. Together, we’ll explore what needs attention or care, and find ways to work with your unique and wonderful brain—not against it. We move at your pace, making space for humor, curiosity, and discovering your resilience. Whatever you’re going through, you don’t have to face it alone. You were never meant to.
My approach is collaborative and Person-Centered, with the therapeutic relationship at the core of the work. I often use ACT, expressive arts, and parts work. Many challenges we face are shaped by larger systems that can disenfranchise us—like cultural norms, societal structures, or even family dynamics—and these are realities I explore and hold with you.
Reaching out for therapy is an act of self kindness and courage. If what I have written here speaks to you, I’d love to hear from you. Please send me an email & be sure to share what draws you to my practice, what you’re seeking support with, and your general availability for meeting. "You are the best thing that has ever happened to you." -Andrea Gibson
