Are you struggling with day-to-day living? Feeling overwhelmed and finding it difficult to cope with life's challenges? Searching for calmness in the midst of uncertainty? If so, you and I can walk through the journey toward healing together. My name is Melanie and I am a therapist who empowers individuals who are working towards overcoming anxiety, depression, difficulties in their relationships, stress and self-esteem. Together, we will identify ways to get you back in balance by identifying the barriers that are preventing you from accomplishing your goals, which includes addressing any past unresolved issues. If you are someone who is ready to regain the strength and power that you already have within you but find yourself dealing with overwhelm, relationship issues, cycles of anxiety and depression or low self-esteem, I'm here to help. Seeking therapy can feel scary but you're making the right choice. You deserve a safe space to heal and grow. In our sessions together, I'll meet you with compassion and evidence-based techniques so you can overcome the hangups and habits holding you back. Let's work together!
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session, we’ll focus on building a safe, welcoming space where you can share what’s bringing you to therapy at your own pace. I’ll ask thoughtful questions to understand your background, current challenges, and goals. We’ll talk about what you hope to gain from therapy, and I’ll share how I work so you feel informed and comfortable. My goal is for you to leave feeling seen, supported, and hopeful about your healing journey.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
I use a trauma-informed, integrative approach tailored to each client’s unique needs. My work draws from CBT, mindfulness, narrative therapy, and somatic practices. I also incorporate inner child work, boundary-setting tools, and emotional regulation techniques. I aim to help clients connect with themselves more deeply, shift their inner narratives, and apply practical strategies to cope with life’s challenges while fostering long-term emotional growth and resilience.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My greatest strengths lie in my warmth, relatability, and ability to hold space for deep healing. I bring a compassionate, down-to-earth presence to each session and meet clients where they are. I listen intently, ask meaningful questions, and offer insights that gently challenge unhelpful patterns. Clients often tell me they feel both safe and empowered in our work—like they can finally breathe, be themselves, and do the inner work they’ve been avoiding.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
I’m best positioned to serve women, young adults and teen girls navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, and low self-worth. Many of my clients feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from their true selves due to past experiences or ongoing stress. They’re often high-functioning but emotionally exhausted, seeking a safe space to unpack their struggles without judgment. I specialize in helping them build self-awareness, set healthy boundaries, and feel empowered to create lasting change.
