I want you to know that you can feel better. The effects of patterns like depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, and people-pleasing don’t need to rob you of a life lived well. Soul-sucking patterns like these gobble up your time, money, physical energy, thoughts, and the ability to focus on yourself. Life feels hard in this place. The good news is that pain is motivating! You’ve likely tried a bunch of things to feel better, but now your inner wisdom is whispering to you to find outside help for the inside pain, and here you are. If this resonates with you, I’d love to work together!

Our work will focus on your unique needs, patterns, preferences, and hopes. Some goals you’ll achieve quickly. Others need the magical ingredients of time, an updated skillset, and most importantly, a new stance of radical self-acceptance. Believe it or not, you don’t need to complete your goals before you begin to like yourself ;)

Lastly, success in therapy depends on the quality of the relationship between you and me, which is why I offer a 50-minute risk-free consultation for new clients. If either of us decides that it’s not a fit, the session fee gets waived. However, if we choose to team up, you pay for the session, and as a bonus, you end up one step closer to your goal!

The trick to getting through difficult times is to stay connected. But sometimes connection can feel out of reach. When life feels too chaotic, or even too dull, we can lose touch with other people—and with ourselves.

Maybe you’re exhausted from dealing with circumstances beyond your control. Or maybe your brain never slows down—you bounce back and forth between fight and flight and can’t seem to settle. Maybe you know perfectly well why you’re struggling, but feel stuck in the same patterns. That’s not a personal failure! It’s a nervous system doing its best to cope.

I take a collaborative and holistic approach to therapy. This means we’ll work together to identify the problems holding you back and then act on implementing solutions that honor where you’re at right now. My style is gentle, direct, informative, and engaged. I’ll tell you what I know that might help, then roll up my sleeves and dig through the muck alongside you.

I enjoy working with trauma, emotion regulation, anxiety, ADHD and other forms of neurodivergence, including the unique struggles that come along with being gifted or high intelligence. In session, we’ll spend some of our time talking through what’s going on for you, just like you’d expect in therapy. The rest of the time we’ll focus on shifting your experience at a nervous system level. This approach tends to work especially well for folks who have sensitive systems or have lived through overwhelming experiences.

Whether you’re trying to make sense of your past, come to terms with recent changes, or cultivate the best version of yourself today, I’m here to support. If you have any questions or are interested in working with me, please contact Unstuck Psychological to book a 50-minute risk-free consultation.

I look forward to connecting!

Because so many of our emotional wounds are created in the context of early relationships with others, it makes sense to me that the genuineness, attunement, unconditional love, and healthy boundaries modeled within the therapeutic relationship can be so healing later in life.

I take great pleasure in providing people with these potentially “missed experiences”, because the world is simply a brighter place when we feel seen, heard, understood, and SAFE. With your permission, I will challenge you, and we will courageously delve into the heart of certain matters. Together, we’ll work to align the mental, emotional, and physical aspects of your being to foster a greater sense of wholeness.

You’ve maybe come to understand just how flawed we humans are, but did you also know that we’re deeply hardwired for connection? That’s exactly why being a therapist brings me so much joy! I’m so grateful that I get to spend my days connecting with people (hopefully you!) in meaningful ways, as a trusted companion on their journeys of healing and personal growth.

There isn’t any wearisome or awkward small-talk on my agenda; instead, I aim to make the most of every moment together.

Oh, and don’t worry if your hope is in limited supply right now. I have a plentiful stock of it from which you can borrow, thanks to the many positive transformations I’ve had the privilege of witnessing over the years!

Hi, I’m Melissa!

We’re all writing our own life story, and sometimes figuring out the next chapter just takes a little time. Maybe you feel stuck in old patterns, overwhelmed, or unsure of what’s holding you back. Maybe you’re facing something completely new, like grieving a loss, welcoming a child, or navigating a big life shift.

Whatever you’re facing, you’re not alone. I’d be honored to be the quiet support behind the scenes- the Alfred to your Batman- cheering you on as you take your next steps, whether it’s your first or one of many. I’m here to listen, encourage, and gently challenge you as you navigate the next chapter of your life.

Healing is rarely a straight path. It can be messy, unpredictable, and sometimes frustrating, but it’s also super rewarding. I blend heart-based and brain-based approaches, believing both are essential for lasting healing. And I’ll bring in a little humor because connecting as humans is just as important.

I know therapy and finding the right therapist can feel overwhelming. That’s why I offer a risk-free consultation, which is a full session with me. If you decide it’s not the right fit afterward, there’s no charge. When you’re ready, I’m ready to walk this journey with you. Can’t wait to get started.
