Therapy for long-term change.

“Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world.
Today I'm wise, so I'm changing myself.”

-Rumi

What’s keeping you up at night?

You’re doing all of the “things” and nothing seems to be improving. It’s exhausting. What if, with the right support, you were able to channel all of that energy into lasting change. Together, we will explore the origin of a challenge, not just provide you with a “tool” to “fix” it. Every step we take is tailored to you, and always with your end goal in mind.

Therapy can help with:

  • Balancing career and family

  • Managing the challenges and expectations of success

  • Fostering connection 

  • Healing from trauma

  • Reconnecting to your authentic self

Hi, I’m Melissa.

Imagine a space where you can explore the intersections of identity, relationship, and self-image.

I bring a distinctive, client-centered approach that’s attuned to the complexities of modern relationships and personal growth. As a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and certified in EMDR, I specialize in supporting clients through the deeply personal work of navigating women’s issues, non-traditional relationships, diverse sexualities, grief, body image, and trauma. My approach is relational and rooted in meeting you where you are, creating a space that’s both safe and affirming—a sanctuary where healing and growth are not just possible but anticipated.

  • You’re exhausted. As a woman, you navigate countless roles—career professional, mother, daughter, partner, caretaker—and often, all at once. Learn more.

  • Navigating multiple relationships can sometimes feel like hosting a dinner party where every guest has a different preference. There’s plenty of love, but just as many logistics. Learn more.

  • Who helps you when you’re the one who helps others? Learn more.

  • Reconnect with the art of creating, unburdened, inspired, and fully present. Learn more.

  • EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapy offers a powerful pathway to help you finally make peace with the past. Learn more.
