REGISTERED PSYCHOTHERAPIST, MA

Melissa believes that healing is an ongoing practice, rather than a task to complete. She believes in creating strong therapeutic alliances where clients can feel fully seen, heard and understood. Her aim is to help guide clients towards self-discovery, authentic living and meaningful change. She goes beyond treating a specific symptom or problem to promoting whole-person wellness.

Melissa specializes in working with clients who have experienced trauma. She is trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing and Internal Family Systems, both of which she uses as modalities that primarily inform her work. Other areas of practice include depression, anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorder, stress management, self-esteem, body image and more.

Melissa uses a holistic framework to help clients strengthen their mind-body connection. She uses an integrative approach and pulls from a variety of therapeutic approaches including, Acceptance & Commitment Therapy, Attachment-based Therapy, mindfulness and somatic interventions to meet unique client needs and goals.
