Welcome! I'm Melissa Take a moment to acknowledge you've taken the first step towards bettering your mental health because, let's be honest - starting therapy can be empowering, confusing, or scary, all at the same time. I strive to create a safe and welcoming environment that allows clients to explore obstacles with concerns related to anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and/or self-care. I focus on helping clients develop assertive communication and boundaries with themselves and those around them that can help improve their quality of life. Counseling can foster personal development in whatever way you may be seeking and help build the life you so deeply deserve. Not sure if you could use some help navigating life's challenges? Let's talk about the kind of support I can provide you. Bock a session with me to see if we're a good fit.
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then discuss the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions. We can begin discussing your goals.
Having worked with high acuity patients, I can help through acute struggles and high anxiety, and when someone feels like they "have no coping skills" I also am able to help with grounding techniques and managing emotional regulation. Additionally, I love working with college age and young adults navigating the life transitions and “adulting”
I love working with adults of all ages who are navigating the ever changing journey or life. I also enjoy helping those wanting to manage anxiety, depression, relationship/family issues, life transitions, grief, PTSD, cultural issues, veteran/military support. LGBTGIA+ support, and dating. Often, clients feel stuck and don't know where to begin.
