Meet Melissa

Hi, I'm Melissa. Maybe this is your first time looking for a therapist, or maybe you've been searching for the right fit for a while. I'm a therapist who doesn't sit on a pedestal directing you on how to live your best life. Instead, I'm right there with you on the ground floor, helping you discover your way to living your best life. If you're seeking an out-of-the-box therapist who truly invests in you and encourages you to grow and challenge yourself, then look no further; I'm here for you. With over five years of experience as a therapist, I specialize in addressing concerns that many therapists may not have the experience or courage to help clients overcome. I focus on the private matters that clients often feel they can't share with others, including issues related to sexuality, spirituality, trauma, fears, anxieties, and addiction. Whether you're struggling with parenting, fertility issues, or something considered outside the mainstream, I'm here to provide support. I approach each client with unconditional positive regard, offering a non-judgmental and supportive environment. Even if you feel like you're 'a lot to handle,' I'm the therapist for you. If you feel broken, I'm here to help you mend and recreate your path in a new light. I meet you where you are at each session and use whatever approach is needed for your needs in that moment. If you're ready to take the next step towards living your best life, I'm here and ready to help. Let's work together to discover your path to fulfillment and well-being.
