(she/her)About Melanie
Hello - I'm a queer psychologist offering individual and couples/relationship therapy. My therapy focus is to support folx in deepening connections, developing or rebuilding trust, and increasing compassion with self and others. I especially enjoy helping folx explore their identities and create lives aligned with their authentic selves. This often includes processing difficult emotions (e.g., grief, sadness, anxiety, fear, abandonment) in an intentionally safe space with collaboration, emotional presence, creativity, kindness, validation, and curiosity. More specifically, I practice acceptance-based therapy approaches and multicultural/socially informed therapies while utilizing experiential, existential, and behavioral strategies to decrease shame, increase self-trust and intuition, release unhelpful patterns and beliefs, and heal from painful experiences.
