Melanie has help me navigate intimidating undertakings, family challenges and PTSD episodes. We talk, laugh, I cry, I feel better, and her experience and compassion is there in everything I bring to her. She messages me with helpful handouts after the session, and sometimes during the week when she comes across something that makes her think of my situation. I like Melanie a lot and my life is better because of my sessions with her. Thanks Melanie!
