Melissa's passion lies in understanding and supporting the full spectrum of human behavior, especially where traditional approaches may fall short. She specializes in working with survivors of sexual, physical, emotional, and psychological abuse, individuals with complex PTSD (C-PTSD), and those who’ve struggled to find healing in previous therapy experiences due to the layered nature of their challenges.

Melissa is not your “cookie-cutter” therapist. She brings warmth, authenticity, and a non-judgmental presence to the therapy room. She believes deeply in the transformative power of the therapist-client relationship and views therapy as a shared, powerful experience that can create lasting, meaningful change.
