My experience and spirituality are assets you can rely on, but they will not direct your own process of understanding, healing and maturation.
I work with individuals and couples, often working with developmental transition, interpersonal conflict and relationships, depression, anxiety, family and systems issues. I can help with mediation and professional goals, as well as with spiritual identity formation and depth psychology.

For those who desire it, I offer Christian counseling, integrating faith and spirituality into the healing process.
At the heart of my work is the belief that healing begins when we reconnect with who we truly are. Life has a way of destabilizing us. In therapy, we’ll gently uncover the beliefs, patterns, and coping strategies that may have helped you survive but no longer serve the life you want to live. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling stuck, carrying the weight of complicated family dynamics, questioning long-held roles, or navigating who they are becoming. I work with individuals to help them feel more rooted in themselves, connected in their relationships, and resilient in the face of life's challenges.

You seem like you have it all together—thoughtful, self-aware, maybe the one people go to for advice. But inside, your mind won’t stop racing. You overthink, plan, replay conversations, and question yourself. You need to be in control, push down your feelings, and act like things don’t bother you. But underneath, there’s self-doubt, disconnection, and a longing to feel and be more. You want deeper relationships, more presence, and to trust yourself—but vulnerability still feels hard. You're ready to move beyond just understanding yourself and into a life that feels more grounded, connected, and real.

You’re competent and capable on the outside, but internally you carry a lot: emotional intensity, leadership pressure, vocational strain, spiritual questions, or a sense of disconnection from your inner compass. You’re looking for depth, not quick fixes. If this resonates, we may be a good fit. I invite us to listen together for the stories held in your body and the echoes of family and culture that shaped the ways you learned to move through the world. Our work is about slowing down enough to hear those stories and echoes clearly, honoring what once protected you, and choosing what you want to carry forward.

I am a depth psychologist practicing in Pennsylvania and remotely in 36 states via PsyPact. It may be that an external life event has left you feeling disoriented or, perhaps, you are confronted by an inner feeling of emptiness or agitation that is difficult to ignore. The common thread of suffering runs through all of our lives. Symptoms, and other manifestations of our psychological life, contain an important message. Deciphering the symbols of the psyche, via thoughts, feelings, memories, dreams and lived experience, allows us to lead a more balanced and meaningful life.

Hi! My name is Melissa and I come to my role as a therapist through my own lived experience of how hard it is to be a human being. Through my own (ongoing) healing journey, I have found deep transformation in spaces where I am invited to say the unsayable. When our lived experiences are held and witnessed with compassion for the sacred experiences they are, transformation is possible. It is a privilege for me to hold space as a therapist for those seeking to deepen their relationship with themself in the context of the reality of their life.

Spirituality Therapists
What should I expect from therapy that incorporates a focus on spirituality?
Spirituality can mean different things to different individuals, depending on their experiences, beliefs, and life histories. Some individuals focus on strengthening their belief system, while others experience spirituality in secular ways, such as through meditation, yoga, or by spending time in nature. Clients can expect a therapist to help guide and grow their spirituality through any of these techniques, encouraging the individual to cope with the challenges they face and develop strategies to build resilience and purpose to improve their outlook in life.

What are the most common treatments that include spirituality?
There are several treatments that incorporate spirituality. Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) helps a person examine and reframe their negative thoughts and behaviors. Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) focuses on emotional acceptance and psychological flexibility. Existential therapy is most often used to address anxiety, depression, grief, loneliness, apathy, despair, questions of identity, and feelings of purposelessness and existential dread. Transpersonal therapy focuses on a client’s spirituality and meaning in life and may incorporate techniques including meditation, visualization, hypnotherapy, dream analysis, and or breathwork.

Can therapy incorporating spirituality help atheistic or agnostic individuals?
Yes. For non-believers, spirituality can offer benefits including a greater sense of connection to others and to the natural world. An interest in spirituality may also spur individuals to pursue mindfulness practices, or to contemplate their purpose in life and how to achieve it.

How effective is spirituality as a therapeutic remedy?
​​Research suggests spirituality is generally beneficial for individuals. It is correlated with better health habits, such as less substance use, and an improved capacity to cope with stress and other mental health challenges. Increased spirituality can lead individuals to become more empathic and less materialistic, as well.
