Melissa helps Millennial women navigate feelings of low self-esteem so they can challenge limiting beliefs and stop people pleasing. Melissa is also passionate about supporting and empowering individuals with ADHD to bring clarity to their experiences and navigate challenges related to emotional regulation. The goal is to empower you to lead confidently and comfortably, setting healthy boundaries to experience more meaningful relationships. In working with Melissa, you will open the door of opportunity to live life as your most expansive, authentic self.
Melissa emphasizes building a safe space for you to share and experience all of who you are, from your pain and sorrow to your joy and laughter. Her approach speaks to her versatility, so while she can be spontaneous and creative, she also brings a calm, centred and slow nature to sessions. She is committed to remaining open and curious about where you lead, ultimately believing you are the expert on your journey. She encourages open and honest communication to build and strengthen our therapeutic relationship.
Outside of the session, you can find Melissa cuddling or playing with her dog, Billie. She enjoys reading, listening to podcasts, and watching reality T.V. One of her favourite activities is taking walks by the water with an Americano. Melissa loves to travel and often has some far-off destination in her mind; much like coming to therapy, she thinks travel teaches you a lot about yourself.
