Congratulations on taking the first step to living the fulfilling life you deserve.
Whether you decide to work with me or another therapist, I'm glad you have decided to take the first step towards healing by starting the search for a therapist. I know from personal experience that making the decision to pursue individual therapy can be daunting. There are traumas, thoughts, and feelings that we would rather avoid than confront. At some point, however, the potential benefits of therapy begin to overpower the trepidation we feel about opening up.
I aim to always be genuine, relatable, respectful, & caring.
I will work with you to build the trust required for productive therapy and to provide you with a welcoming space to openly process your thoughts, emotions, and struggles. The last thing you want is to begin opening up and dealing with those difficult thoughts and feelings only to feel judged, minimized, or invalidated. I also aim to empower you to tell me what you need from me and I thrive on any feedback you provide throughout the therapy process to improve your experience.
Hi there! I'm Mel.
Ready to get started?
Therapy is an investment in your time and money. It’s important that you feel connected and comfortable with your therapist.
I offer a free, 15-minute phone consultation as an opportunity for us to get to know each other. I’ll ask you to share a little about yourself and what you’re looking to achieve in therapy and you’ll have the opportunity to ask any questions you have about my therapeutic style, experience, and background. If we decide we’re a good fit, the work begins.
I look forward to getting to know you.
