Hi I'm Melisa

Hi, my name is Melisa. I am especially passionate about supporting the queer and BIPOC communities through therapy that centers the client's unique experience. Feel free to book a free consultation to see if we might be a good fit.

Melisa’s therapeutic style

I tend to be warm and spacious in session, giving you room to lead while I stay closely attuned. At the same time, I tend to hold both the present problem and the deeper patterns behind it at the same time, and I like our work to have a clear shape, with goals, themes, or next steps when they are useful.
