I offer a sacred space for your sacred stories. This safe space allows you to do the courageous work of going within to know your Self deeper, understand your Self better, and bring your true Self forth. Our work together is a collaborative, co-creative process in which we explore your present-day experiences as well as childhood and early adulthood experiences through your thoughts, feelings, body wisdom, and soul-knowing. I am a kind & gentle witness to you exploring your Self. I ask deep questions, you explore your Inner Landscape. I walk along beside you as you heal Inner Wounds, release stored trauma, and create a heart-centered, truthful, empowered, integrated Self. I specialize in Anxiety, Depression, PTSD, and Grief/Loss. We collaboratively explore themes of identity and expression of the True Self; remembering your True Essence (self-worth, self-kindness, self-acceptance); and work with your integrated Mind-Heart-Body-Soul to create an Aligned Self. Please note that I do not specialize in Crisis work or Addictions work, and will refer to another therapist who is resourced in and specializes in this work.
Our first session is a chance for us to get to know one another and see/feel/know if we are a good fit together (Do our energies align?). In this first session, you will share what brings you to therapy (challenges & struggles), and what you would like to work on in sessions (How would you like to shift?). I will share with you my approaches and policies. Please note that I have a strict weekly attendance policy. If you are someone who will NOT be able to attend your weekly reserved session day/time the majority of the time and will need to shift/change your weekly session frequently > please explore therapists with a more flexible schedule. If you are someone who values the security of a day/time held for you and consistency with your schedule, I'm your girl. Let's dive in and do some deep Inner Work!
I bring a warm & empowering presence to sessions. Light-heartedness and laughter are essential elements to my work (we go deep, we need the polarity of light & laughter to balance!). I help clients tune into the small picture: the nuances of emotional experiences, thought processes, and patterned responses (we go small to recognize who you are, how you are, and why you do). I also help clients tune into the big picture: I reflect what you have shared over time and connect your experiences, spotlighting shifts & changes you have made to your way of being. Clients often share that the sacred space I offer is one in which they feel deeply seen, heard, cared for, and understood. My compassionate heart, gentle soul and deep love for what I do & who I work with comes through in our work together.
Therapy is a commitment. You are committing to showing up, to sharing your Self— the messy, imperfect, colorful, laughable, cringe-worthy parts of your Self— Are you brave? Do you know deep within you that shifts and transformations happen when you are willing to show up and be open & vulnerable & truthful in order to See your Self? You do the hard, courageous work in and out of our therapy sessions to explore, accept, love, and know You deeply. I do the hard, courageous work of reminding you of how and why and what this may look like, sound like, feel like, and to Trust the Process... especially when the process is difficult and twisty and turny. This is deep, hard work which doesn’t always feel warm and fuzzy… AND… this deep, hard work is always worth it because You are worth it. Therapy is a commitment. I work with clients who are willing to show up every week and do the Inner Work. I am strict about weekly attendance: I have reserved a day and time specifically for you. Cancels under 24 hours incur a Missed Session Fee, no exceptions. If you know ahead of 24 hours that you need to reschedule your weekly session, we find an alternate time to meet that week. If you cancel and do not reschedule for that same week, you have the opportunity for Two Missed Sessions. Two Missed Sessions within any 60 day period, we transition you to Drop-In Status in which you do not have a secured day & time for session, rather you reach out to see what is available when you want to have session. You will receive a copy of my Attendance Policies prior to beginning therapy with me.

I could tell by the first interaction with Melodie that she was a perfect fit for me. She is so warm, kind, caring. She listens to me and gives great feed back. She talks things through with me to help make sense of situations. She is an amazing person.

I wish I could rate Melodie a thousand stars! Melodie is such a compassionate, insightful, genuine person, I truly only wish I had found her earlier in my mental health journey. She has been helping me through a very painful grieving process and also some positive new changes and challenges in my life. I highly recommend Melodie for her warmth and humor and gentle compassionate therapeutic approach.
