A note from Melissa
I provide trauma-informed therapy in a space that is respectful, compassionate, and collaborative. I work with folks who want to feel more grounded, connected, and confident as they navigate life’s challenges, heal from trauma, or move through big changes. Therapy with me honors your resilience and lived experience. Together, we move at a pace that feels right for you, building insight and practical tools that support emotional regulation, self-trust, and meaningful growth. My role is not to “fix” you, but to walk alongside you as you reconnect with your strengths and create the changes you want in your life.
