I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with specialization in working with teenagers, families and adult survivors of trauma. I have a background in utilizing a mixture of approaches in therapy ranging from DBT, Air Network and creative interventions. I blend a skills-based approach with client-centered therapy. I take a collaborative approach to treatment planning. I value brining humor into therapy when it is appropriate. I believe in the validity of everyone’s story, and that client’s are the expert of their life. I value building a therapeutic relationship that allows clients to be vulnerable and experience safety.

Melodie completed the Foundational DBT skills training in 2016. Melodie is trained in the Adaptive Internal Relational (AIR) Network model of treatment. The AIR network model is a trauma-informed approach effective in the treatment of complex trauma and dissociation. Melodie is a certificated AIR Network provider, and is in a monthly consult group.
Melodie has a specialized interest in working with adolescent and adult survivors of trauma. Melodie is always in awe of the resilience and strength individuals bring to therapy. Melodie enjoys helping clients to gain an awareness and understanding of themselves, and their own values.
