MEET MELISSA
My own journey, interlaced with personal encounters of depression, anxiety, trauma, and the transformative power of therapy, has deepened my understanding and compassion. This compassion extends especially to those of you identifying as empaths or highly sensitive individuals, grappling with the complexities of depression, anxiety, trauma, PTSD, low-self-esteem, body image issues, and challenging relationships.
I value
connection - authenticity - honesty
MY APPROACH
My therapeutic approach is humanistic, strengths-based, and intuitive wherein I utilize compassion and humor as well as evidenced based modalities to help you reach your goals.
Through my research and experience, I've come to understand that the heart of effective counseling lies in the strength of the relationship I build with my clients. That's why I always prioritize establishing and maintaining a positive, supportive connection with each client. I firmly believe this strong bond is paramount to achieving the best outcomes in our therapy journey together.​
You don't have to continue to feel hopeless.
​
I can help you gain a deeper understanding of yourself and help you to heal
so you can start to thrive in the areas of your life that you feel are
suffering.
