Hi, I’m Melissa — and I’m so glad you’re here.

I’m a therapist and yoga teacher who holds space for people navigating life’s tender in-between places — the moments when things fall apart or shift direction and you’re not quite sure who you are anymore.

For over 20 years, I’ve walked alongside women, teens, and families as they move through anxiety, burnout, grief, and the deep work of healing. My work is rooted in the belief that growth happens when we slow down, get curious, and reconnect with our inner wisdom. You don’t need to have it all figured out — just a willingness to begin.

In therapy, I offer a grounded, supportive space where you can speak freely, feel deeply, and grow at your own pace. Together, we’ll explore what’s working, what’s not, and gently shift the patterns that are keeping you stuck. I bring a holistic lens to our work, weaving together evidence-based practices with somatic tools like breath, movement, and nervous system regulation.

I’m especially passionate about supporting:

• Women in transition (career, motherhood, divorce, identity shifts)

• Teens struggling with anxiety, low self-worth, perfectionism or social stress

• Families facing relational tension or adoption-related concerns

When I’m not in session, you can find me guiding gentle, therapeutic yoga classes that complement the inner work of therapy — helping clients ground their bodies, quiet their minds, and reconnect with themselves.

Credentials matter too: I hold a Master’s in Counseling, a Post-Master’s Certificate in Clinical Issues in Adoption, and am a 200-hour Registered Yoga Teacher. I’ve been practicing since 2001, and I’m honored to do this work.

Whether you’re seeking clarity, calm, connection, or simply a safe space to land — you’re welcome here.
