As a first timer in therapy I was incredibly nervous about discussing my struggles and feelings with someone else but Melissa made it very easy to open up and to feel seen and supported.

Melissa easily created a safe space that allowed me to share my deepest concerns and encouraged me to be my true self while learning what trusting and healing look like, among many things. I am grateful for her dedication, support, genuine compassion, direct approach, and all her wisdom. Working with her has been nothing short of transformative.

Melissa seems to be a great fit for me. We have had only one call but got a lot out of it in a short time I'm looking forward to having more calls. She also does a great job of checking in. I feel she is very knowledgeable in her field.
