Therapy & Brainspotting
A supportive space for meaningful emotional work.
Melissa views therapy as a collaborative journey. Alongside traditional talk therapy, her training in Brainspotting offers a focused, brain-body approach that may help clients process experiences that feel difficult to resolve through words alone.
Brainspotting may be explored for concerns such as trauma, anxiety, emotional overwhelm, performance issues, and other patterns that feel persistent or deeply rooted.

Holistic & Functional Psychiatry
Looking beyond symptoms to understand the full picture.
Mental health can be influenced by many interconnected factors. Our psychiatric approach considers the person as a whole while still using evidence-based clinical care.
-
We begin with your history, symptoms, concerns, goals, and lived experience.
-
When appropriate, we consider labs, nutrition, sleep, physical health, and lifestyle alongside psychiatric symptoms.
-
Medication and non-prescription support are personalized rather than approached as one-size-fits-all.
-
Treatment evolves collaboratively based on response, goals, and changing needs.
