Hello! My name is Melissa and I hope to have the opportunity to work with you. Beginning therapy is already a big step and I want you to feel comfortable and confident taking that step with me. I have experience working with adults, children, families, couples and adolescents. I am also bilingual and enjoy working with Spanish-speaking clients....
Do you find yourself overcome with anxiety, stress, or intrusive thoughts? You may feel stuck in your own head, think negative "what-if" thoughts, or replay social situations in your mind, critiquing what you said and overanalyzing how everyone else responded. Are you ready to make a change? If so, allow me to guide you in shifting your mind from being your arch enemy to your powerful ally. My clients and I work together as a team. We will talk about the negative thinking patterns affecting you...
We just might be a great fit if: You are a gen z or millennial who has experienced sexual abuse or assault or if you are a queer person who has been hurt by family, organizations or religions for your lived experiences. This is probably the part where I’m supposed to tell you about my education, and all the reasons why you should work with me. Let’s be honest though, you’re wondering if we could be a fit. The important thing to you is knowing if you could sit across from me and feel heard and...
"We don't have to do it alone, we were never meant to". When things are the hardest it can feel like the most difficult to reach out to others. I look to help individuals who are struggling to live the life they want to be living. My goal is to help my clients build authentic lives based on what matters most to them. Sometimes we move away from things that make us anxious or uncomfortable, rather than towards what brings us happiness. I look to help individuals really look at what’s most importa...

I'm a zen practicing therapist+musician who loves working with people on their journeys to healthier relationships and becoming their most authentic selves. I was raised fundamentalist and spent my childhood learning fire and brimstone theology and memorizing verses from the King James Bible. Needless to say I chose to leave the "sinners in the hands of an angry God" mentality behind when I grew up. The truth is, being hard on ourselves doesn't help us or anyone else. But compassion, love, accep...
I truly enjoy supporting clients in understanding themselves and their experiences through a compassionate lens. I am honored to support identity exploration (e.g., LGBTQ+, communities of color) in ways that move clients to the life that they want. I firmly believe that it is my job as a therapist to hold client's hope for them when they cannot hope for themselves. We can sit in the discomfort together and savor the moments that feel aligned. My goal is to provide clients with skills and tools t...

My core assumption is that each of us has the innate capacity to do all of the following: feel happy; form close and satisfying relationships with others; manage situations effectively; and make good decisions. However, sometimes that innate capacity gets blocked. That is when we run into emotional or behavioral problems. It is my job to help you understand what is blocking your own innate capacity. The process of understanding the block is what dissolves it. The work I do with people is ...

If you are struggling or feeling overwhelmed in one or more areas of your life, you don’t have to navigate this experience alone. Therapy can provide a safe, supportive environment to guide the process of acceptance, healing and change. Through this process one can gain new insights and perspectives about their problems and themselves, develop effective ways to cope and make desired changes to reduce pain and suffering. I am an independently licensed clinician with more than a decade of exper...
Something isn’t working. Sometimes, nothing is working. Even daily reminders that help is needed engenders worry that acknowledging problems will make them more real. We may wonder if it’s best to accept fleeting comfort from the ways we’re used to. Cold comfort feels better than no comfort. But if you’re reading this, a part of you suspects that just because it feels that way doesn’t mean it has to be that way. Life is hard, change is harder, but ignoring the call toward change is the harde...
