About

If you are reading this, then you have taken the first step to helping yourself. Making the decision to seek therapy can be difficult, as reaching out for help requires vulnerability and courage. My name is Melanie, and I am a licensed marriage and family therapist. Allow me to help you address the emotional challenges that may be causing you a variety of symptoms–depression, anxiety, or anger–as this is often how the issues we are struggling with surface in our lives. The path to healing is one that requires change, and that can be downright scary for some, but I will be with you every step of the way. The goal is to help you discover and understand the root cause of your issues. As a therapist, I want to give you support and the space you need to gain insight, empowering you to live a more fulfilling life. I work with my clients utilizing a truly collaborative approach, as we are all individuals and there is not a “one size fits all” type of therapy. I will work with you to develop a treatment plan that addresses your needs with an approach that you can relate to. Prior to becoming a therapist, I worked as a registered nurse for more than 15 years, so helping others achieve physical and mental wellbeing is something I am deeply committed to. I understand the difficulties that face those who may be struggling with medical issues such as cancer, trauma, and terminal illness. More than most, I understand the interplay between our physical and mental health and how one ultimately effects the other. If you need to address challenges in your life, please call me so that we may discuss how best to work together. The most important thing is to find help from a therapist that fits your needs. If I am not the right therapist for you, I will do everything I can to help you find someone who is.
