About Melissa
I'm a therapist with extensive clinical experience supporting individuals through life's most challenging transitions and struggles. My work has centered on helping clients navigate depression, anxiety, stress, grief, and mood-related concerns with compassion and skill. I specialize in addressing communication difficulties, attachment issues, guilt and shame, panic attacks, and trauma-related experiences. I am DBT trained and use skills and principles from CBT and ACT as well. I also work thoughtfully with clients facing midlife transitions, workplace stress, family dynamics, codependency patterns, and women's issues. My approach is particularly informed by work with older adults and geriatric concerns, where I bring both clinical expertise and genuine respect for the wisdom that comes with life experience. I draw from evidence-based therapeutic practices to help you build resilience, process difficult emotions, and strengthen your sense of self-worth. I believe in meeting you where you are-honoring your values, your perspective, and your unique journey. Starting therapy takes courage, and I'm honored to walk alongside you as you move toward greater clarity and peace. Read more Show less
