Hi, I’m Melissa. As an attachment-based, relational therapist I truly believe in the lasting impact relationships have on our lives. In my work with clients', I show up with curiosity, empathy, warmth and a touch of humor. My hope is to guide my clients respectfully and collaboratively throughout the therapeutic process. I have provided treatment for couples, individuals and families for 10+ years. Additionally, I am an LGBTQ+ ally, non-monogamy-affirming, anti-racist and culturally humble therapist licensed to provide therapy in Virginia and North Carolina. As you consider beginning the courageous step of initiating therapy, I encourage you to reach out to see if I am a good fit for your healing journey. Beginning therapy is an investment, as well as a vulnerable risk. To ensure you receive the best treatment, I lean on frameworks proven through research to be effective in growth and healing. I am a Certified Emotionally Focused Therapist (EFT), dedicated to creating deeper emotional bonds and lasting change in relationships. EFT is an empirically-validated model also proven to be effective in working with couples and individuals. I also utilize self-compassion techniques and Internal Family Systems as my foundational framework.
