About The Owner

Hi, I am Melissa. Welcome to my site. Looking for a therapist can be challenging and I applaud you for getting this far.

I have helped many people with busy lives and high pressure jobs feel better. My passion in this life is helping others discover their potential for creating a life they want to live in. I focus on seeing strengths in the people I meet and teach others to see “the good” in themselves that I see in them. I view health and healing through terms of healthy connection. One of the biggest compliments I have ever received from a client was that I had become the voice in her head that reminded her to be kind to herself and that there was always hope even when everything seemed bleak. My ultimate goal in this life is to send a ripple of compassion and love through this world in a way that can make it a better place.

I have spent the last 18 years of my career helping people find healing and quality of life whether that be in the form of individual therapy, couples therapy, family therapy, supervision or mentorship.
