Hi I'm Melissa! Are you looking for guidance during a difficult time? Need assistance working through relationship issues? Want to find effective ways to manage anxiety and depression? I'm here to help! Working together we can find ways to get you back on the right path and living your best life. I love watching people realize the strength they have to push forward and cope with all of life's ups and downs. I treat each client as a unique individual who is the expert of their life. Working together we come up with goals that address the areas you need assistance in and design the treatment that is most relevant to you. I am well versed in CBT, DBT and ACT modalities and work with each client to identify what speaks to them and their needs. Reaching out was the first step in your journey. I can't wait to be part of your healing process!
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
You can expect compassion, empowerment, collaboration and a non-judgmental space that allows you to guide your sessions in the direction you need.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
I work from the modality that is best suited for each client. There is no "one size fits all" approach in therapy and I ensure the treatment is relevant to the client. I practice from CBT, DBT and ACT modalities as well as Trauma-Informed CBT. I work with the individual to create a plan that works for them including real-world tools that can be implemented immediately.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My biggest strengths are my ability to meet the individual where they are at and motivate them to make the best decisions. I have worked with criminal justice involved individuals for over 20 years and do not focus on the past, but building a brighter future.
