I try to be a radically honest therapist with a mission to help all people navigate self-exploration. I believe emotions are informative to the quality of our life experience. I also believe we live in a world full of a lot of information and that feels overwhelming. I feel when people understand their emotions, they can take control of their life. My clinical experience has focused on serving active duty-military members and their families. With this professional experience and as an Air Force & Army dependent, I am most familiar with the unique culture and dynamic of being a military family member.

Hi, I'm Melissa and I'm glad you're here. The simple fact that you're reading this is a positive sign that you're ready for change. It's quite possible that you aren't exactly sure what you're looking for. But you're looking, and that's the first and often most difficult step. Knowing that something is "off" yet being unclear of what, may feel both confusing and frustrating. Despite seemingly having it all together and meeting of the markers that symbolize success. One persisting question remains. "Is this all there is?" I'm going out on a limb here to say the answer is a resounding "NO". There's more, so much more!

Counseling is not just for those experiencing a life crisis or a current difficulty. Counseling is an opportunity to learn new skills, gain new insights, and position oneself for increased health and wellness. My style is a “hodgepodge”, meaning it depends on what a person needs in that moment. One day we may learn coping skills and the next, we may be identifying how personality characteristics contribute to protecting your sense of self. Mind, body, and spirit impact each other, which can also be described as a holistic approach. We will not just look at what you think and feel, but your lifestyle, environment, & relationships.

Stuck in a fog of unnecessary pain or in the ruts of everyday life, struggling with the same issues, over and over again. No longer will you have to piece together the differing advice of multiple practitioners; together we’ll employ a wide array of supports. Using the best of modern psychotherapeutic practices and ancient healing we’ll reach a holistic solution. As a psychotherapist, I’ve learned pain can be released, trauma can be resolved and healing is your birthright.

Female Therapists

Does it matter what gender my therapist is?

In general, this is not an important factor, as there is no relationship between a therapist’s gender and their efficacy. Some clients, however, prefer to see therapists of a particular gender, whether due to their own past experiences with men and women, or ingrained beliefs about how people of different genders think and behave. Exploring the roots of such preferences and considering what one wants to address in therapy can help someone determine whether their therapist’s gender truly matters to them.

Should I see a female therapist?

Many people—not just women—prefer to see a female therapist, either because they believe that a woman will be able to relate to their specific challenges (for example, sexism in the workplace) or because they imagine feeling more comfortable disclosing sensitive information to a woman. Such beliefs may not turn out to be accurate, however, and adhering too rigidly to a gender preference can at times hinder a client from finding the best therapeutic match.

Do therapists get specific training to help with women’s concerns?

Therapists are trained to provide care to clients of any gender. However, some therapists—both men and women—may pursue additional training in feminist therapy, gender-specific issues, or women’s mental health. Female clients may wish to ask prospective therapists whether they have received specific training in the client’s primary area(s) of concern, or whether they have worked extensively with women on issues similar to their own.

How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience in treating women?

It’s OK—even encouraged!—to ask a therapist directly whether and how often they have treated women in the past, or whether they have treated women dealing with the client’s most prominent concern(s). Competent therapists will be happy to share their educational background, preferred treatment modalities, and prior client experience to help an individual find the therapist best suited to their needs.
