Are you struggling to keep up with life’s demands? Do you often feel anxious, overwhelmed, or emotionally drained, even when everything seems “fine” on the outside? You’re not alone. My name is Melanie, and I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who provides trauma-informed therapy to women, young adults, and teens who are navigating anxiety, depression, low self-worth, and life transitions. My approach is rooted in compassion, authenticity, and collaboration. I understand how heavy it can feel when you’re constantly giving to others but don’t feel emotionally safe or supported yourself. You may be stuck in survival mode, dealing with perfectionism, people-pleasing, or childhood wounds that still impact how you move through the world. You might crave peace and clarity but struggle to slow down, set boundaries, or fully trust yourself. Therapy doesn’t have to feel clinical or overwhelming. It can be a space where you can finally take a deep breath, be seen without judgment, and begin healing at your own pace. Together, we’ll gently explore the patterns that no longer serve you and identify the internal blocks keeping you stuck. Whether you’re feeling emotionally burnt out, navigating relationship struggles, or trying to reconnect with your sense of self, I’m here to help you find alignment. I bring a warm, supportive presence into every session so you can feel safe to show up exactly as you are. This is your time to prioritize you. Healing is possible—and it begins with feeling seen, supported, and empowered.
