Introduction

Hi, I’m Melissa, nice to meet you! I have 7 years of experience as a medical social worker and therapist supporting amazing people on their journeys. You are coming here to gain the tools and understanding to deal with something in your life and I would love to be your partner in that! I love supporting clients with concerns including adjustment challenges, depression, anxiety, grief, and chronic pain/chronic illness among other issues. I have also worked with clients who just need someone to support them through challenging experiences, emotions, and life changes. My style is direct, positive, and warm with a focus on supporting clients but holding them accountable to their goals for treatment. I believe in helping clients to build their mental toolbox to address current issues and be better prepared to meet new challenges with confidence throughout the rest of their lives. My holistic approach includes techniques and components of cognitive-behavioral, client-centered, and humanistic therapies combined with motivational interviewing, mindfulness, and other interventions as needed to address each client's concerns individually. I also have training in grief and bereavement, solution focused, and acceptance and commitment therapies to pull from as well. I will structure our sessions and treatment plan to meet your needs and goals so we can address what brings you to therapy together. I also find unconditional positive regard to be a powerful tool in clients being able to have confidence in our work together and their own success, as they know I will always support them and give honest feedback to support their goals.
