Hello! I'm Mel B, your ally in navigating the complex roles of life. I'm a millennial woman who does many things— I’m a caring wife, a loving cat mom, a therapist, a self-care supporter, an iced coffee lover, and Swiftie. My mission? To help millennials like you live lives that make you truly happy and match their values, dreams, and goals. I’m here for you—the amazing, funny, strong young adult who wants to be heard, set and reach goals, handle stress and anxiety, build satisfying relationships, and live your best, true life. I work with young adults who crave meaningful and productive conversations, good vibes, laughs, and warmth. I believe in building trusting, safe, and lasting relationships with my clients where we conquer whatever is causing you distress and discomfort. Let’s start this amazing adventure together! 🌟
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session together, we'll spend time getting to know each other. Sure, I'll review your intake form with you, but I really want to get to know the woman behind the things that she wants improved in her life. By the end of our time together, we'll decide if we're a good fit and if you want to move forward with services with me.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
One thing I'm particularly excited about is assisting you in healing in a way that's 100% tailored to you. Our time together won't feel like regular therapy—I value building genuine connections with my clients so much; you'll truly feel like you're part of a dynamic and fabulous duo. We'll laugh, cry, and share so many victories together. I literally get chills as my clients progress and reach their goals.

Solution Focused Brief Treatment
For the past ten years, I've been all in on the mental health scene, putting my heart into solution-focused brief therapy. It's been a total game-changer, especially for young women who love how it brings about quick, positive changes. If you're looking to shake things up and take charge of different parts of your life, I've got your back. When we work together, it's all about teamwork. We'll pinpoint what you want to change and delve into what makes you tick—your strengths, wins, and what you value most. We'll lean on these to drive real, meaningful shifts in your life. This adventure is all about unlocking your full potential and marching towards a life that's not only fulfilling but one where you're absolutely thriving.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Blending the best of solution-focused therapy and cognitive behavioral strategies, I'm here to guide you through your specific struggles, all while we dive deep into understanding the way you perceive the world. Let's uncover the habits and thoughts that are holding you back, and kickstart your journey towards breaking free from the stuff that’s been dragging you down. Prepare for a major shift in how you think and feel, wave goodbye to that heavy cloud of negativity, and get pumped for a life that’s more fulfilling and totally empowering. If you’re in for transforming your life, I’ve got your back.
Motivational Interviewing
Motivational interviewing is this cool approach I use to help my clients figure out just how ready they are for making a change. It's all about tapping into what's important to you - your values, what you like, your life experiences, and all the awesome things you're capable of. We'll use all that good stuff to make sure your actions are totally in sync with who you are and what you want to achieve.
