Get to know me
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
Our first session will discuss your expectations, therapy goals, and session preferences. Then, when you are ready, we will discuss your specific concerns. We'll create a tailored plan to work through in future sessions.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
My biggest strengths include an understanding of how to manage your nervous system responses that make you fight, flee, or freeze. You will benefit from my ongoing studies in Polyvagal Theory and develop skills to respond to yourself and the world with greater ease.

My treatment methods
EMDR
I use Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to help alleviate the distress associated with traumatic events and memories. EMDR is an eight-phase evidence-based treatment that begins with developing trust with you.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a widely used, evidence-based therapy that helps you identify and change negative thought patterns and behaviors using psychoeducation, identifying and challenging negative thoughts, and behavioral activation. I often integrate CBT techniques with Mindfulness and somatic techniques as they are helpful to you.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
I offer mindfulness-based techniques to help you enhance self-awareness, reduce stress, and improve emotional regulation. My clients find mindfulness techniques helpful in establishing a sense of safety and grounding when coping with daily stress and when processing past trauma.
Internal Family Systems (IFS)
During my EMDR training and certification, I was introduced to the use of Internal Family System techniques during trauma treatment. I use IFS techniques today to help clients process trauma without re-traumatization. My clients also find that IFS techniques help cultivate self-compassion and reduce and resolve internal conflict.

Melissa is intelligent, solution oriented, as well as client focused and attentive. She creates space for me to help steer sessions based on need. I much appreciate her communication skills and trust in her process. I have worked with therapists before, but I am very encouraged that my work with Melissa will lead to continued positive changes in areas that are challenging. Grateful to work with her.
