A note from Melissa
Welcome, I’m so glad you’re here. I have been working as a therapist for 7+ years and take an eclectic approach to therapy as no two clients are the same. My purpose is to provide support and space for clients to learn more about themselves through a collaborative process working toward outlined goals, which may include gaining insight to problems/concerns, building self-awareness, navigating transitionary periods, and developing skills to help manage/improve experiences, symptoms, or relationships. I have experience in utilizing yoga tools (RYT-500) and mindfulness (Mindful Life Trainer certification).
