Starting therapy can feel intimidating, and I’m so glad you’ve decided to consider taking this first step in pursuing support. I want our sessions together to feel comfortable, safe, and meaningful.

I’d like to invite you to make yourself at home in the most holistic way possible. This is your time and opportunity to sit one-on-one with a skilled therapist and create a confidential space to share your thoughts, feelings, and emotions. I provide psychological assessment and treatment to adolescents – mature adults suffering from anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, family challenges, and life transitions. I see each individual as one-of-a-kind and use that mentality to tailor a unique treatment plan created just for you. I am currently seeing clients via telehealth, and I am happy to set up a free 15 minute consultation.

Are you relating too much to TikToks about ADHD? Are you a trauma survivor without a diagnosis? Have you been diagnosed with anxiety and depression, but that doesn't quite feel right? I often tell my clients that I am a great therapist for those who have "a spaghetti of concerns." I focus on pulling out the individual noodles of the spaghetti and laying them out for us to see, discuss, understand, treat, and build coping skills. I treat trauma survivors, people with PTSD, neurodiverse people, and those looking for a welcoming, nonjudgemental space. I take a mind-body approach for whole wellness.

My favorite clients are the ones who are ready to take control of their own lives and they are ready to take their power back. They want to be happy and experience freedom in all areas of their lives and are done making excuses. My clients strive to become better people and live happy and fulfilling lives after breaking the barriers of old belief systems and barriers that were holding them back.

My clients (individuals and couples) report finding freedom to be who they are, love for themselves, and alignment in purpose.

Hello there! My name is Melissa and I am so glad you have taken the first step in exploring therapy. I am a licensed social worker and have experience working with individuals struggling with addiction, depression, anxiety, marital and relationship issues, life transitions, and those experiencing lack of peace and fulfillment in their lives. My goal is to offer a safe, compassionate, empathetic, and trusting space for us to build a strong therapeutic relationship to assist with personal growth, increasing your insight, helping you gain effective coping skills, and improving your overall well-being.

Throughout my career I have had the pleasure of working amongst a variety of mental health settings and environments. My experience within the individual, group, and family therapy has allowed me to support individuals from a variety of backgrounds and through all age groups that struggled with depression, anxiety disorders, mood disorders, relationship stressors, and many other barriers that disrupt the path to stability and growth. I find it my pleasure to assist you in your journey towards managing through life stressors, relationships, life transitions and building a stronger relationship with your authentic self.

My approach to therapy is depth-oriented. While I do not believe that insight in and of itself is curative, I do believe it’s a necessary first step in the healing process. Once we gain insight into the roots of our problems, we can begin to respond intentionally when in a state of emotional flashback rather than automatically reacting with fight, flight, freeze or fawn. I believe in the power of truly feeling through our emotions and in creating a safe space for my clients to do just that. I believe the therapeutic alliance should be one that fosters self-discovery and healing in a safe, nonjudgmental, empathic environment.
