Couples Counseling
The closeness you lost isn't gone. It's buried under what hasn't been said. 
I help couples untangle what's hurting their relationship and find their way back to closeness so they can stop going through the motions and start feeling connected again.
​
​I am a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist, which means that my education and experience have been focused on relationships and marriage/family.

​Individual Counseling  
Unlike friends, therapists offer a confidential, nonjudgmental, and professionally trained perspective focused entirely on your needs.
I work one-on-one with individuals to provide a supportive, confidential space for exploration, healing, and growth. Together, we’ll gently uncover patterns, build insight, and develop practical tools that support emotional well-being and meaningful change at your own pace.
​ I am a Highly Sensitive Person and Highly Sensitive Therapist.
​
Adults that were Adopted
I work with adults who were adopted and are navigating questions of identity, belonging, loss, and connection. Together, we create space to explore your story with compassion, helping you move toward greater self-understanding and healing. Being adopted can shape how we understand ourselves and our relationships in subtle and profound ways. I work with adopted adults to explore these experiences at your pace, honoring both what is known and what may feel hard to name.
​I was adopted as well. I also offer groups.

Melissa is the rare therapist who places herself in her client's world, meeting them where they are while standing on the bank of their challenges with GPS-like precision guidance. Her warmth and gentle approach to her clients allows them space to be and breathe... and discover new behaviors and patterns so they can more fully embrace the lives they desire.
