Does life feel like you’re stuck on a hamster wheel of cycles? Does it feel like you’re struggling to find the light at the end of a tunnel that you’re desperately seeking? How about having your thoughts feeling like a tornada that you can’t get out of? Hi, I’m Melody! I support individuals navigating anxiety, depression, trauma and PTSD, grief, stress management, mood concerns, and identity development. My specialties include trauma-informed care, holistic therapy with somatic practices, and mindfulness-based approaches. I work with late adolescents, young adults, adults, and members of the LGBTQIA+ community!
My approach blends evidence-based practices such as CBT and DBT with mindfulness, somatic, and person-centered techniques. My goal is to create a safe, compassionate space where you feel truly heard while being supported in taking meaningful steps toward healing, resilience, and self-discovery!
Clients often describe me as warm, soft-spoken, and action-oriented. I see myself as your biggest fan while also helping you move toward growth with direct support and practical strategies. I truly believe you already hold the strength to heal, and I would be honored to walk alongside you on your journey. Give me a call and let’s get started!
