More about Melissa
- 5 years' experience
- Female
- LCSW
As your therapist, I want to help you learn and practice the skills related to hope, compassion, and solution focused thinking. Utilizing your resources is key to feeling hopeful. It is very cool to realize your own potential. Your favorite music, art, pets, food, and people can help you feel alive and connected. Healing is hoping, and having the courage to love and to forgive again. It starts with loving yourself. It can start with our first conversation. I want to help ignite your potential. How would it feel to start loving yourself more? Let's talk about reclaiming a future that you're excited about.
