Meet Melanie
Seeing you for you.
I work with people struggling with anxiety, complex trauma, and relationships. Neurodiversities, high-sensitivities, and experiences of trauma can make life overwhelming - and being a creative person means seeing the world in an open and vulnerable way.
​
I help individuals and partners (poly-relationship affirming) navigate anxiety, codependency, grief and trauma. I offer psychodynamic depth therapy integrated with somatic work and Trauma Informed CBT, helping you access both the wisdom of your body and your mind. I also provide couples therapy and marriage counseling, supporting relationships to thrive with deeper trust, honesty, and intimacy.
Help is here. Together we can transform your experiences into strengths.
​​​​
Compassionate, curious, creative.
I came to this vocation through a winding path. I worked in the theatre and performance exploring the healing power of story and the spark of connection that comes through the arts. I taught yoga and learned the empathy that comes from encountering how trauma tells its tale on our bodies and the release that comes when we are well guided towards freedom. I am a Reiki master teacher and I came to know how energy moved and changes when one is in a safe space. I provided hypnotherapy; discovering the body's and the psyche's wisdom and how exploring the foggy and implicit experience of our past and present can be both safe and nourishing. I've been a caregiver for beloved young people and elders and I've witnessed rapid growth and messy exploration. I have also sat with the dying and seen what surrender looks like. All of this has been in the service of healing and I bring this with me to the therapy room.
A partner in your journey.
My approach blends psychodynamic depth therapy with somatic awareness, parts psychology, and CBT tools. Together we’ll explore unconscious patterns, heal relational wounds, and create practical ways to cope and grow. Therapy with me is warm, steady and affirming of your whole self.
