A note from Melissa
I believe in helping clients to build their toolbox to address current and past issues as well as to be prepared for new challenges with confidence and greater success throughout the rest of their lives. If you want a therapist to laugh, cry, celebrate wins, and connect deeply with, I'm ready to take that journey with you! My tailored, eclectic approach incorporates different therapies as needed. I will structure our sessions and treatment plan to meet your needs as we work towards your therapy goals so we can address what brings you to this platform together in a way that makes sense and feels manageable.
