A note from Melissa

Starting therapy can feel like a big step—you don’t have to do it alone. I’m a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with over 10 years of experience helping people work through anxiety, depression, trauma, and substance use. I focus on creating a space where you feel comfortable, understood, and free to be yourself—no judgment. My approach is simple and supportive: meet you where you are, help you build real-life coping skills, and work toward the changes you want.
