Do you struggle with anxiety or depression that affects your everyday life and relationships with others? Do you feel as if you can’t control your emotions and even let them build till they explode? Are you wondering if you can ever break the negative cycle in relationships or parenting struggles? Owning and understanding those emotions can often be the first step to finding balance and boundaries. Hi, I'm Mellisa! I will meet you where you are at and I will walk beside you, your child, your partner/spouse or family to sort through those feelings so that you can face the barriers that may be challenging you in everyday life.

My approach to therapy is person-centered, strengths-based and holistic aiming to improve wellness through the mind, spirit and body. I focus on coping skills and mindfulness to manage anxiety, depression and anger, and rather than fighting thoughts and emotions, I use principles of ACT, CBT and DBT. I am also trained in Gottman Method Level I for couples.

I understand the challenges that working on your mental health can bring, but I have also seen the growth and peace that my clients experience as well. Whether its a strained relationship or marriage, personal battles, or your child/teen's emotional and social struggles, I am here to help with evidence based strategies, patience, skill and compassion.
