Hello!  I’m Melanie and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who is experienced working with individuals, couples, and families. I also really enjoy working with children and teens ages 10+. In addition to therapy, I also hold licenses in parent education and early childhood education, and I am a trained mediator. These skills help me give additional support to families and children who present for therapy with parenting and development challenges.

​

I work with clients who are experiencing a variety of concerns, like anxiety, depression, postpartum issues, life transitions, family and relationship issues, and parenting difficulties.  

​

My approach to therapy is that we work together to help you recognize patterns that are not working, and to create new patterns that work for you.

​

 My goal is to help you, the client, to feel empowered by the process of therapy. It takes courage to reach out and ask for help and support. I believe clients know how they want to help themselves, but may need tools and skills to get to the place they want to be.

​

My intention is for you to feel safe and heard during the therapy process. My approach incorporates attachment, narrative therapy, and solution focused therapy. Because of my background as a parent educator, I like to use psychoeducation with clients to teach them about what they may be experiencing. 

​

I support all relationships types and orientations in my practice.

​

I look forward to working with you and supporting you on your journey.
