The three-fold part of us, spirit, soul and body need care and maintenance. Life happens and we all sometimes find disequilibrium in one of these three components, which eventually affects the others. My goal is to provide a supportive, non-judgmental and equipping therapeutic environment which addresses the spirit and soul (emotional and relational issues). Together, we can work to identify triggers to disequilibrium and work out life changes unique to your circumstance

Hi, I'm Melanie at Connected Wellness Group! I believe healing involves connecting to self- mind, emotions, body, relationships, and communities. I've been in practice for over a decade and I provide services to adults in a relaxed, confidential space using trauma-informed modalities like EMDR and DBT.

My practice, Connected Wellness Group seeks to improve mental, emotional, and relational health by encouraging a (w)holistic approach to healing.

Even strong, smart, successful people know when to utilize the help of experts. Maybe you’re not in crisis, just a couple in a “good enough” relationship, but some of the time things get painfully off track. Or an individual whose life seems to be going pretty well on the outside – but privately, you’re hurting. Sometimes, your ways of “getting by” turn into habits that need to be amended. It’s not always clear how to go about initiating change and it helps to have an objective perspective. Counseling is a great way to improve your life. Together we will explore, identify, and rebuild habits and patterns to provide lasting change.

Clients come to me in trying times for help dealing with issues like depression, grief, anger and marriage issues. I don't see myself as the "expert" who is going to provide all the "answers" but I do promise to walk with my clients as they address the issues we identify together that they want to in therapy. I am comfortable working one on one, or with couples and families from age 6 to adults. I'm also a Pastor and a Chaplain so I have been theologically trained and can explore spiritual issues and crises as a pastoral counselor.
