Did you grow up in a less-than-nurturing family? Do you or someone you love have an addiction? Do you struggle with feelings of panic, anxiety, anger, shame, or depression that will not let go? Do you find yourself in the same less-than-nurturing relationships despite "never-again!" promises to yourself? Let's get you on the road to recovery from these things. I can help with healing childhood abandonment issues, never feeling "good enough", fear of intimacy or abandonment, attachment wounds, physical, emotional, or sexual trauma, and the anxieties, worries, or fears that come from these issues.

Waitlist for new clients
My ideal client is an adult, couple, or family that has experienced loss or trauma and wants to feel connected to themselves, those they love, and their community again. The individual/s may be experiencing extreme anxiety, irritability, or depression and have been trying to keep picking themselves up, but are tired and concerned about what their future holds. They often find themselves using a variety of means to numb such as eating, substance use, gambling, pornography, sex, video games, etc. They experience emptiness and feel that they really have no sense of who they are or what they want and often feel alone and disconnected.

You’re sick and tired of fighting all the time about you-can’t-even-remember what, you’re wondering if you can do this for the rest of your life (or whether you should call it quits now), and you’re only here because you want to give this one final shot. This is what I’m here for. I work with poor conflict (excessive or non-existent) couples who are on the brink of separation or divorce and desperately seeking answers to their core question, “is this it?” I can’t guarantee what you’ll decide to do, but I can guarantee that I will be candid, listen thoroughly, and help you figure out what’s really going on in your relationship.

A lot of resentment can come with aging, whether you yourself are caregiving or you are experiencing changes as you age. It can leave caregivers and seniors feeling stuck without a solution for a way forward to enjoy your life in the midst of hardship or challenges that you are facing with getting older.

Talking to a therapist is hard; all those emotions are difficult, and being strong all the time for those around you is exhausting. I get it, and I want to make it easier for you. I use interactive techniques that do not leave you sitting on the couch, staring, and not knowing what to say. You came looking at this site for a reason; I believe the reason is that you have suffered long enough and are ready to make a change. Change is scary; you are not alone. I'll be there with you as you make the change. Give me a call.

I have been in practice for 30 years. I have trained extensively in attachment focused traumas that result in Complex PTSD. I have worked extensively with childhood physical/sexual abuse as well as emotional, developmental neglect. I understand the impact of these childhood issues on adult life. I also work effectively with grief. I am looking for clients who want to work through childhood traumas, grief and challenges in life using EMDR. I am interested in clients who want to reconnect with parts of themselves that you dislike or have disowned so you can be a more complete version of yourself.

I believe that no matter what age you are, most emotional struggles stem from a feeling of disconnection - from self, family and friends, or the world in general. You may feel as if you aren't yourself lately, or as if relationships have become difficult to navigate. Possibly you're having a hard time staying present and engaging in the world around you. If you are seeking therapy for your child or your teen, it may seem as if their behaviors or reactions don't match up to the situation they are in. Feeling seen, heard, and understood in therapy can allow adults and children to build or repair connections to self and others.

Hello! Welcome to the healing opportunity of therapy. I believe the moment you made the decision to seek therapy, is the moment your healing began. Therapy is a unique individual experience, so finding a therapist who is a good fit is important. Sometimes it can feel confusing. We often don’t know what we are looking for, we just know we want to feel better. In the wanting to feel better we often ignore signs, or we just disconnect from our daily life. There are many reasons to engage in therapy, some include: unresolved trauma, underlying causes of anxiety, depression, grief, life transitions and other mental health symptoms.

Throughout our lives, we all have thresholds we must cross. Some of these are easier than others. When these thresholds become a sticking point or seem impossible to cross is when the therapeutic journey can be most impactful. As a polyamorous gay man that grew up in the South, I have often found myself at different thresholds trying to figure out how to move through them. Because of this, as your therapist, I will work to help you find the ability to push through your own thresholds.

Throughout our lives, many of us adopt narratives that don’t align with our actual experiences — they may leave out important details about our families or our make-up, the ways we were hurt, or the ways in which we have succeeded. But in all cases, they don’t do justice to the depth of our experiences, and in fact, when we have been abused or mistreated, the very purpose of these false narratives may be to obscure the truth of who we are and what we’ve been through. My greatest hope is that our work together will allow you to come home to yourself as you learn to tell stories that honor the core of who you are.

Hello! My name is Melanie, but everyone calls me Mia. I know how disorienting and frustrating life can feel sometimes- like you're stuck going around in circles, unsure of how to break the cycle. Whether you want to explore how an old wound is showing up in the present day, or learn to develop new ways of relating to people, therapy is a powerful tool to help you move ahead with clarity and confidence. I especially enjoy working with young women as they develop a strong sense of identity, as well as couples who have hit a snag. You can expect me to show up as a sensitive, challenging and collaborative partner on your journey.
