A therapist who gets it - professionally and personally

Hi, I’m Melissa. I work with teens, adults, and families who feel stretched thin and overwhelmed. I work with teens and adults living with ADHD or other forms of neurodiversity, parents doing their best to support their kids, and couples or families who feel the strain this brings to daily life.

I know how confusing and exhausting it can feel when you are doing your best and it still does not seem like enough. As both a therapist and a parent of a neurodivergent young adult, I understand these challenges on a very real level. You are not alone in this, and you do not have to figure it out by yourself.

In our work together, my goal is to help you untangle the overwhelm and find strategies that actually fit your life. I use a mix of practical tools and compassionate support so you can feel more grounded, connected, and confident in yourself and your relationships.

If this sounds like the kind of support you are looking for, I would love to meet you. Reach out for a free fifteen-minute consultation and let’s see if we are a good fit.

My 4-year old, female Golden Retriever, Dolce, is a certified Therapy Dog through the Alliance of Therapy Dogs and is available to be a part of therapy Walk & Talk sessions in the Bend, Oregon area, if appropriate and desired.
