About Melanie

If anxiety, depression, trauma, or grief are troubling you, there is hope. Many of my clients are professionals, experiencing difficulty in one or more of their roles. Clients may have had high stress experiences or difficult childhoods.

Others may want to improve their relationships or may be struggling to live with chronic illness. Therapy can help you find your voice, identify your strengths and resources, and learn better coping skills. Life's transitions and changes can be stressful. Therapy can help. I see adult clients individually and in group therapy.
