My Approach to Therapy

Hi, I'm Melissa. I'm glad you're here. I believe therapy is about more than reducing symptoms. It's about better understanding yourself and creating meaningful, lasting change. While your past may have shaped who you are today, it doesn't have to define your future. Together, we'll explore the experiences, patterns, and beliefs that may be contributing to your current struggles while focusing on the life you want to build. My approach is integrative, trauma-informed, and personalized because I believe every person deserves care that reflects their unique story, strengths, and goals. I often work with individuals who appear to have it all together on the outside but quietly struggle with anxiety, perfectionism, people-pleasing, unresolved trauma, or relationship challenges. Using evidence-based approaches, including EMDR and mind-body interventions when appropriate, we'll work to better understand what's keeping you stuck, develop practical tools, and help you move forward with greater confidence and emotional balance. Finding the right therapist is an important decision, which is why I offer a complimentary 10-minute phone consultation. It's an opportunity to ask questions, discuss your goals, and determine whether we're the right fit for one another. Taking the first step isn't always easy, but it can be the beginning of something meaningful. I'd be honored to support you. "Often when you think you're at the end of something, you're at the beginning of something else." — Fred Rogers

My Practice & Services

I offer both insurance and private pay options, with appointments available on a weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly basis based on your needs and goals. Sessions are available in person in Tennessee and through secure telehealth for clients throughout Tennessee and Florida. I believe therapy is most effective when it is collaborative, personalized, and tailored to your individual goals. Every treatment plan is designed to reflect your unique needs, and I strive to make the process of starting therapy as simple and supportive as possible. If you're unsure where to begin, I also offer a complimentary consultation to answer your questions and help determine whether we're a good fit.

Groups I Work With

I specialize in working with adults experiencing trauma, anxiety, perfectionism, people-pleasing, relationship difficulties, and life transitions. Many of my clients are high-functioning individuals who appear to have it all together on the outside but feel overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, or disconnected on the inside. I also have experience supporting individuals living with chronic illness and disabilities.
