Depression often feels crushing; as if we are stuck in the past. The pressure of anxiety can feel as if we are stuck in the "what if" of the future. I would like to help you become more present and mindful. We are often told what we are "supposed" to do, but don't know what we want from this life. I help individuals, families, and couples solve longstanding problems, clarify values, and build on strengths to navigate life's challenges more purposefully and effectively. Changing problematic patterns in our lives is critical to increasing contentment. We cannot change our stories, but we can change our relationship to them.

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!
