My Approach to Helping
Have you ever felt out of place or alone? Wondered if you have any purpose in life? Are you struggling with self esteem, depression, or anxiety? Are you and your spouse dealing with issues you just can’t move forward from? Life is full of complex and surprising situations. In an instant, you can go from thinking you have it all together to having a ‘curveball’ thrown into your life that knocks you off your feet. Whether it is life transitions…societal pressures…relationship issues…or other challenges, reaching out and sharing does not come easy.
Hi! My name is Melissa and I would love the chance to hear your story and walk alongside you on your journey. As a therapist, I aim to be in your corner, creating a safe place to help you process, think outside the box, and feel supported. I believe many factors impact who you are today (such as your upbringing or culture and relationship influences), but they do not have to determine your future. While counseling with me, we can get through your concerns together, focusing more on your hopes and dreams for the future, in lieu of the things weighing you down and causing you pain.
I use an integrative therapeutic approach because I believe every individual is unique and requires their own specific treatment plan. I tend to work with individuals, couples, and families, have experience on all aspects of life from anxiety to relationship issues to grief and have extensive training in mind body, trauma, attachment, and somatic modalities.
Finding the right therapist is important and can feel overwhelming. I offer a free, 10 minute phone consultation to alleviate some fears, discuss your goals, answer any questions, and to see if we are a great match for your needs. Whether you are new to therapy or not, I personally believe going to therapy is one of the strongest things you can do!
