LMFT, 11 years of experience
Hello, I'm Melissa. Are you feeling lost, stressed or overwhelmed? Taking the steps to make changes in your life is the beginning of enhancing your well being. I strongly believe in working with you to create techniques to fit your specific needs for happiness. Together we will customize a treatment plan to help guide you on a path to a healthy body and mind. We will work towards finding proper self-care skills, balance, and coping skills that work for you. I specialize in providing therapy for adolescents, adults, couples and families of varied needs, including anxiety, depression, and addiction. I have a certification for EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) to assist and aid with any trauma, PTSD, or strong inhibitions. I am passionate about helping you take charge of your thoughts, feelings, & emotions to live a full life. Fulfillment is not a destination; it's a process. My passion is providing excellent clinical services which I deliver in a warm, compassionate setting. I aim to teach you the skills you need to overcome the limitations you are facing so you can go on to lead a productive life. Let's start your goals today! *EMDR and couples/family therapy will be at a cash-pay rate only.
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
Over the past 10+ years, I've developed a specific, eclectic way to assist individuals to (a) identify the root cause of challenges and (b) create a tailored plan that leads to measurable progress.
I love working with anyone eager to improve, but does not yet have the tools needed to make their goals a reality.
I use this approach that blends techniques and strategies from various therapeutic schools of thought to best meet the unique needs of each client as I believe there is no "one size fits all." Rather than sticking to one specific therapy model, an eclectic therapist draws on elements from different approaches based on what is most effective for addressing the client’s issues. The goal is to provide a flexible, individualized treatment plan that adapts to the client’s specific concerns, personality, and preferences, ensuring a more holistic and tailored therapeutic experience.

Melissa made me incredibly comfortable in my return to therapy. It is clear she cares about her clients and listens intently. I have had trouble opening up and being fully truthful to therapists in the past, but as a therapist myself, I can confidently say Melissa does not judge and I feel safe telling her things aloud. Thank you Melissa! I look forward to our journey together.

Melissa is an exceptional therapist! She is attentive, empathetic, insightful, and incredibly intelligent. She remembers key details, conceptualizes issues with clarity, and offers practical, solution-focused guidance. Her integrative, flexible approach centers my needs and pace. I feel truly heard, safe, and supported. I’m so grateful to be working with her.
