You are the hero of your own tale; you are a warrior who can rescue yourself. Every warrior needs a tribe, people that are going to support them and rally around you in the darkest of times.

Hey there! I am so glad you are here. I know how much courage and vulnerability it takes to seek out counseling. You are incredibly brave to take this step & I am grateful for your bravery! I love working with teens, college students, young professionals, couples/families, and women-identifying persons through the lifespan.

Whether you're exploring counseling for the first time or revisiting its transformative power, I'm glad you are here! Seeking counseling for you and/or your loved ones is not just courageous, but a proactive investment to one’s mental and emotional well-being. Your story is unique and so are the obstacles that come your way. As a Licensed Professional Counselor - Associate, I utilize the power of therapy to bridge the gap from where you are now to where you want to be. I focus on helping individuals work towards a better understanding of who they are in order that they can live their most authentic, healthy and meaningful life!

Being human isn't always easy, and when life gets complicated and becomes challenging, therapy can help offer tools to navigate through a crisis while providing you a deeper exploration of yourself. Problems in relationships often come from old ways of coping that served you in the past, but now may be keeping you from feeling fulfilled and satisfied with your life. I believe our most challenging times can also be our greatest opportunity for change. Healing is possible, and therapy is a journey towards self-discovery where you get to explore the landscape of your own mind.

Are you feeling down or just not yourself? Are you overwhelmed or burdened by stress at home, work, or school?

Everyone's experience is unique, and I work together with each client to process their current challenges and achieve the changes that they desire. You have it within you to reach your full potential and find the happiness you are seeking. I am EMDR trained and use the modality to help people recover from trauma and other distressing life experiences, including PTSD, anxiety and depression.

Are you looking for a therapist who really gets it? Do you value deep, empathetic connection and a holistic approach to your mental health? You’re someone who may have tried therapy in the past but are looking for a more integrated approach to healing. You’re feeling disconnected from your body and want to find a deeper approach to feel more full connected and come home to yourself. You’re ready to heal - your whole body, mind, and spirit. You’re ready to radically change your relationship with yourself. Most of all, you’re ready to transform your life. We’re here to help.

We live in an extraordinary stressful time. Do you find yourself feeling anxious, depressed, or lonely? Maybe you face issues of love and relationship, career and money, health and happiness, or bereavement and loss. Perhaps you are simply sick of repeating the same self-defeating patterns. Whatever the case, we can figure it out together. I will guide you in the journey of self-inquiry that will lead to creating something beautiful and extraordinary in your life no matter the circumstance. Life will take on new meaning and purpose as you begin to explore and discover and love who you are.

My hopes are to help school aged children and youth as well as their families overcome past or current traumas, work on attachment issues, and offer general support to all the curveballs life throws at us. I work well with children who have need help with emotional and behavioral regulation. I utilize interpersonal neurobiology, play therapy, and cognitive behavioral therapy principles to help guide your child to a more regulated self! I offer parent coaching so you feel in the loop and support throughout your child's therapy process.

Do you want your relationships to be better? How about your relationship with yourself? Have you experienced trauma in important relationships and struggle with anxiety, depression, guilt, low self esteem? I believe relationships are extremely important in our growth and development. This belief begins with, and is evidenced by, the relationship I will work to form with you!

Are you in an abusive relationship with someone who has narcissistic traits or narcissistic personality disorder? Have you been gaslit to the point where you are now questioning your own sanity? As a therapist who has helped many clients heal from narcissistic abuse and lived it myself, I understand the abuse and pain you have been through. Chances are you are in a strong trauma bond with the narcissist in your life which can be difficult to break free from without help. Learn how to set boundaries, create space for your own emotions and needs, and move forward with your life in a healthy way by working with me.

Do you feel like you are stuck? Lost or trapped? Have you felt unable to move beyond painful experiences in your past? Do you feel mired in negative thoughts and feelings in the present? Do the same destructive patterns seem to repeat themselves, over and over? You are not alone. Addressing these questions is the first step towards positive change and growth. I believe counseling is often more than seeking to feel better - it is a journey. Therapy can offer an avenue towards self-empowerment, fulfillment and a deeper sense of meaning in your life. A path towards living more authentically.

Hello! My name is Melissa & I am a Licensed Professional Counselor-Associate, Supervised by Diana Garza-Louis, LPC-S, LMFT-S. In my practice I see children & adolescents, and I believe the most important thing is to establish a trusting relationship with clients. I believe that change can’t happen unless safety & security are established first. My goal for each session is to bring authenticity to the playroom & create a safe space for each child to learn how to trust their own inner wisdom, strength, & gain confidence. Through compassion, humor, and encouragement, I create a supportive environment for a therapeutic healing process.

Life might have thrown you a new curveball that has gotten you off balance. OR nothing big has happened, but feelings of being stuck have emerged from somewhere. Psychotherapy offers you a safe place to make changes to old patterns that hold you back. I can help you navigate the uncharted path & assist in developing the insights & skills you need to thrive in life. Therapy works best when we collaborate toward created goals in a respectful & affirming setting. Our work involves identifying & working through unhealthy relationship patterns, helping to change the way you think to improve the way you feel, in order to live your life.

"ITS OKAY TO BE SCARED, BEING SCARED MEANS YOU'RE ABOUT TO DO SOMETHING REALLY, REALLY BRAVE." Mandy Hale. Sometimes people struggle with the idea of going to see a therapist and finding the one that is right for them. Having rapport with your counselor is the most important thing. Once there is rapport with your counselor, the conversations will not feel forced/coerced ...you get to be in the present and work on why you came to therapy to begin with. Each person is unique, so I will use a variety of techniques to meet your presenting issue.

As a Board Certified Counselor, an LPC-Supervisor and RPT-Supervisor my passion is helping clients overcome life's hurdles and achieve greater levels of satisfaction in their everyday lives. I specialize in working with kids, teens, adults and families who are grappling with anxiety, depression, grief, ADHD, dyslexia, autism, life transitions (new job/loss of a job, recent move, impending marriage/divorce, shifting family dynamics, etc), complicated peer relationships, family communication, finding success at school, emotional regulation, and parent coaching. I also provide supervision to LPC-A's and those wanting to earn their RPT.

Not sure how to navigate a major life transition? Feeling burnt out from work either due to workaholism/overachieving, or misalignment and lack of purpose? Or maybe you’re ready to transcend chronic anxiety & depression, family-related trauma/wounds & toxic relationship patterns. I’m here to create a safe space to explore subconscious narratives that we often struggle to look at that are keeping us trapped in patterns we no longer want for our lives. We'll find a way through together so that you can heal your past, find a sense of joy and purpose with your present, and optimism for you future.
