Show up, mess up & face anything! I’m Mel, a registered psychologist passionately working with teen girls and young women (13-25 yrs of age) struggling with anxiety, perfectionism & performance, emotions, and relationships. Rewire the anxious brain, stop avoiding stuff & try new things. Tackle the fear of failure, befriend mistakes, manage the inner critic & self-doubt. Untangle emotions, assert yourself & set boundaries. We can all learn to better speak and connect with ourselves and others and strive for our own personal excellence in a more graceful, non-judgemental, compassionate and courageous way.

I value practicing honesty and authenticity. My lived experiences have made me a therapist with resonance and compassion. I implement creative interventions and have advanced training and experience using a variety of evidenced-based therapies informed by the neuroscience of our emotions, attachments and experiences of trauma.

I am driven by the science of change! We are all imperfect humans with hard to break patterns AND we have tremendous capacity to grow and flourish. It's ok to be stuck & we are not wired to do it all solo. I also run workshops, classes & counselling groups on tackling perfectionism and untangling our emotions. Call/email for a free 20min phone consultation.
