The best therapist! i was very nervous to start therapy but she made it feel so comfortable and safe. I feel like i can actually open up and be heard and have someone who cares and is actually giving me really really good advice!! I have enjoyed therapy for once and look forward to it on the bad days because i know i can express it to someone who understands!

Melissa has been an incredibly thoughtful and supportive therapist. She has helped me navigate through many complex situations and consistently helps me recognize the progress I've made. I truly appreciate how considerate she is, always encouraging me to dig deeper to unmask and process underlying emotions I had been holding onto.
