We'll balance respecting the seriousness and vulnerability of the topics being discussed with humility, perspective-taking, and humor.

Simply put, I hope we laugh while accomplishing your goals.

Are you struggling with addiction or navigating the trials of your life? Are you trying to find balance in your life again or for the first time? I love working with clients who are motivated for change and are willing to put in the hard work and helping clients solve puzzles and find what they need and want in their lives. I also welcome any partners or family members of those struggling with addictions as it can be a difficult path through that trauma. I find fulfillment working with those who find recovery from addiction and partners and family members who have been betrayed and hurt by the addiction of someone they love.

It can feel helpless when looking for support for anxiety causes anxiety itself. I am passionate about working with individuals who have experienced this and have been previously hesitant towards or suspicious of therapy. Whether you are a teenager with social or performance anxiety or an adult navigating the stressors of life transitions and relationships, it is my goal to hold an open, validating space for you to identify what is happening within you as you tell your story, identify pain points along the way, and develop coping skills to tolerate your distress.

Welcome, I'm so glad you're here! My name is Emily, and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I have been working as a therapist since 2019, and my experience includes working with children, teens, and adults who struggle with anxiety, trauma, eating disorders, foster care/adoption issues, life transitions, low self-esteem, stress, women’s issues, and many other mental health issues. I am most passionate about assisting clients in finding deeper healing rather than a temporary fix. I always consider it an honor and a privilege to walk alongside individuals in this journey!

I specialize in EMDR. I work primarily online with trauma, anxiety and grief. My clients are usually seeking EMDR for their therapeutic modality. It works so well that they begin to notice change within the first few sessions. Anxiety, fear, “monkey mind” etc. lessens and they get relief. They learn to use these skills for sleep problems, grief related issues and to calm themselves when angry or overwhelmed. They are seeking relief from invasive symptoms that make their lives harder and less joyful. Their hearts often “crack open”with love when they move from their heads to a more heart centered awareness.

We understand that making the decision to seek therapy can be overwhelming, and we are here to help guide you through the process by clearing a path to emotional well-being. Together, we can develop a strategy that promotes a healthier life for you and the ones closest to you. Our compassionate approach provides a safe and caring environment for you to seek the support that you deserve.

Hi there, I'm Melissa. Do you feel anxious or unhappy most days? Do you want someone to listen, understand, and help? I'm in recovery for alcohol use disorder and a combat veteran. I've had to learn coping skills or lose everything. I understand depression and anxiety. I specialize in helping individuals develop coping skills that can be used in real-time to alleviate negative moods and improve daily functioning. I can help you better understand the connections between your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. You can be happier and you deserve to be. It's never too late to start living the life you want.

Often our feelings of sadness, shut down, or overwhelm are signals that something important needs our attention. If you are often fearful of getting stuck in your emotions or worry you don’t know what to do with your emotions when they arise, then therapy can provide a supportive environment to gain more clarity and insight to your emotional patterns and unmet needs. People pleasing, perfectionism, and procrastination patterns can be healed through exploring the triggers we have in the present and the root of those triggers in our past. In therapy, I prioritize your sense of safety, connection, and autonomy.

Whether you need support during a transition period, are on the journey to self-actualization, or have a diagnosed/undiagnosed condition, I encourage you to reach out for therapy. With some clients, I promote positive change by teaching skills, providing psychoeducation, and co-creating an action plan. With others, I simply provide a safe space to organize their thoughts, and hold them accountable to the promises they make to themselves. I maintain an unconditional positive regard throughout my therapeutic relationships, and I’m eager to establish one with you!

It may feel impossible to overcome challenges that leave us feeling broken, scared, uncertain or confused. If this feels true to you, having someone to assist in finding a sense of wholeness, joy, and peace might just be what you need. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, licensed to practice in several states. I have experience working in a variety of mental health settings and have found peace as an outpatient therapist. In our work together, you can expect to be met with an alliance that promotes emotional safety, empathy, and compassion.

Are you experiencing distressing thoughts that won't go away? Is it difficult for you to calm down when you become upset? Do you feel like you're on edge all the time? You may have a negative relationship with food, exercise or your body image. You may feel scared to start new relationships with others out of fear of getting hurt. This makes it difficult for you to socialize or go outside of your comfort zone. You have likely tried very hard to feel better with no success. I commonly see people who feel overwhelmed by their emotions, have troubling relationships with food, and who feel hopeless or unsure of how to feel better.
