If you were given space to share the story of your body, how would it begin? What would that story say about love and loss, about eating and movement, about pain or trauma? Our lived experiences impact our ability to feel at home within ourselves and you may be there today. Maybe you’re feeling disconnected from yourself and others. Or you’re struggling to nourish and move your body in compassionate ways. Maybe your experiences have taught you that to connect to your internal experience would be dangerous or unsafe. Your ability to be in your body and use your voice may feel complicated, problematic, or even nonexistent.

My experience with LGBT+ and neurodivergent folks has spanned over 5 years as I continue my educational and professional work as a holistic, strengths-based, and trauma-informed social worker. I’ve worked with folks with various intersectional identities, such as LGBT+, neurodivergence, college students and others facing significant life transitions, veterans, and individuals diagnosed with serious mental illnesses (SMI) communities. As a therapist, I utilize a variety of therapeutic modalities like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), and crisis intervention.

As an autistic person herself, Melissa is passionate about working with neurodivergent individuals and operates from a neuroaffirmative lens. Melissa prioritizes collaboration in the therapeutic process, believing that each person is the expert of their life–every person is different, with a unique set of lived experiences, identities, and perspectives, so she believes that treatment should be unique to each person, too. Treatment involves community and self-advocacy, incorporating intersectional cultural identities, supporting clients’ personal treatment goals, fostering self-compassion, and building community support.

In the whirlwind of life's demands, the fast-paced nature can be overwhelming, necessitating us to navigate our busy routines, sometimes at the expense of our emotional well-being and reflection on personal priorities. This can result in a sense of entrapment and uncertainty about how to enhance our circumstances. I provide supportive guidance to foster genuine self-awareness, empowering individuals to discern their needs and navigate life with a mindful and self-energized approach.
