An important part of healing is understanding the connection between mind and body and how it relates to experiences of anxiety, depression, and trauma.

It's okay not to feel okay. If you grew up in a damaging environment, you had to develop ingenious ways of surviving. Enduring your childhood is proof of your strength and resilience.

What helped you in the past may now be hindering your growth. It's time to rewrite your narrative. Join me, and together, we will give voice to the parts of you that have been shamed, hidden, and denied. We can't undo the past's grave injustices, but we can take away their power.

Hi, I’m Melinda. My approach to therapy is both holistic and practical.

We all find life to be a challenge sometimes. Are you struggling with romantic, family, or parenting relationships? Do you not feel understood or heard by your friends and family? Do you have difficulty at work, or with self-esteem and confidence? I am here to help you with all of these issues. My goal is to create a welcoming environment where you can feel comfortable to share your thoughts and feelings. I know it can be hard to make the first step, but I promise you that seeking help is worth it.

I work with children in their early years (infants, toddlers, pre-K) up to children of 12 years, as well as adults. What people feel they need from therapy can be very different depending on the challenges. Whether it's anxiety, coping with trauma, adjusting to a significant life transition, navigating behavioural challenges with your child or something more, I'm interested in creating a safe space where you feel seen, heard, believed and understood. I am deeply moved by the hope that therapy may lead to a deeper connection to who you really are and help to forge a path to where you really want to be.

Therapy is an opportunity to solve problems, improve coping, and build a more enhanced quality of life. In therapy, my aim is to build a strong relationship with clients, one that is based on principles of trust, transparency, and collaboration. I strive to create an atmosphere that will help you to feel safe, supported, and challenged in the areas that will foster your growth.

Do you struggle to feel connected to your authentic self or make sense of who you are in the world? I have been there, too. Through my own life experiences, and from the work I've done with my courageous clients, I have an understanding of how psychological pain and distress impact every aspect of our daily lives, relationships and self-concept. While the effects of this distress often hold us back in our lives, it can also push us to get the help we need to better understand ourselves. If you are here, looking for those answers, you have already taken the hardest step.

My approach is collaborative and integrative. Together, we create a safe space to shift between where you are currently to where you want to be in the future. We tackle life’s challenges, reframe unhelpful thought patterns, and pull on strengths and positive coping strategies. I believe each of us has unique life experiences that shape who we are as people; therefore, therapy is customized for the individual. Life can throw us many curve balls, and together, we can work on restoring that balance by validating our past experiences, accepting what we cannot change and moving forward in a new desired direction.
