Almost everyone can benefit from counseling! Whether you're looking to sort through challenging emotions or experiences, improve your relationships, explore areas for personal growth, or develop skills to cope with stress, it helps to talk with someone whose only goal is to empathetically support you in making the changes you seek. Those who have experienced trauma often have difficulty regulating their emotions, building meaningful relationships, and coping with stress, and they tend to find that substances like alcohol and other drugs make hard things easier. These are not character flaws; this is a reasonable response to trauma.

Hi, I'm Melinda and I am a licensed counselor, a board certified art therapist, and an artist. Therapy with me usually starts with talking and then I weave in art therapy, writing, psycho education, and EMDR techniques based on what you are working on. I have a gentle approach to therapy because I know some things people come to therapy for can be difficult to talk about. My training and background are in trauma informed therapy. I want to assist you in finding the right tools to tell your story. You do not need any experience with art to work with me. Come as you are!
