More about Melissa
- 7 years' experience
- Female
- LPC
I offer structured, collaborative therapy for adults navigating anxiety, OCD, panic, and overwhelm. I also support parents of anxious children using SPACE therapy. My approach is active and focused, using evidence-based methods like ERP, DBT, and CBT to help you break patterns that no longer serve you. Many of my clients are high-functioning but feel stuck in cycles of overthinking or burnout. Clients describe me as warm, direct, and practical—each session is designed to help you feel more empowered and supported in daily life.
