Melissa is a perceptive and nuanced therapist with a refreshingly frank style. For over 25 years, they have been working with individuals, couples, and families to foster personal growth and satisfying relationships. They have a way of making clients feel comfortable, understood, and at ease – like no matter what you say they get it and don’t judge you. And they’re funny.

Melissa is well-versed with relationships outside of the heteronormative experience. They can deal with complexity and, better yet, break it down and make it manageable. Their clinical orientation is client-centered, systemic, anti-oppression, narrative, and attachment-based.

Areas of particular interest include:

  • Polyamory

  • Kink/BDSM

  • LGBTQIA+

  • Life transitions

  • Aging

  • Gender

  • Parenting

  • Body positivity
