Meet Melissa

I am Marriage and Family Therapist licensed in California. My education and initial experience focused in Jungian (Depth) Psychology, which includes dreamwork, images, myths and archetypes. As a naturally curious person who who reads many books and attends trainings in therapeutic practices and self discovery, I have expanded my practice to include evidence based practices such as EMDR & CBT, somatic psychotherapy, mindfulness, and active imagination. My eclectic background and experience allows me to tailor my work in every session to help clients work towards their goals.

My approach works well with all types of adults, including: self-doubters, high-achievers, trauma survivors, perfectionists, and those seeking personal growth or a respite from the public spot light.

While I participate with other psychotherapists in consultation groups to facilitate each of our individual growth and knowledge, I have chosen to practice individually. That means that every client will work directly with me. In that way, I can guarantee they will be truly seen, heard, and understood in a compassionate and empathetic setting. My only goal is to help you achieve yours.

Let’s talk about the ways I can help you gain the healing, peace of mind, and personal transformation you deserve.
