About Melissa

“People start to heal the moment they feel heard.” I have worked in the mental health field for 9 years. I have experience in working with children, adolescents and adults. Some of the disorders I have treated include anxiety, depression, severe mental illness, grief, trauma and addiction. I specialize in treating OCD with the use of ERP, Exposure Response Prevention.
I have also worked closely with couples and families to assist with strengthening relationships and family bonds. I am certified in DBT and utilize a variety of therapeutic approaches to include MI, CBT, SFT, talk therapy.

My mission is to provide people with a safe and confidential place to offer help, guidance and to improve stability and quality of life. Your emotional well being is my number one priority. If you are ready to begin taking steps toward a more healthy, peaceful, grounded and mindful way of life, please take the first step and reach out.
