More about Melissa

  • 2 years' experience
  • Female
  • LPC

I am a trauma-focused therapist who believes the past shapes the present in ways we may not always recognize. I work with clients navigating ADHD, anxiety, chronic illness, perfectionism, and body image concerns. Many of my clients are self-aware but still feel stuck, because healing requires more than insight—it also involves emotional and somatic work. In therapy, I focus on unlearning old patterns, building awareness, and creating lasting change.
