Introduction

Accepting new clients located in Montana! Hi, I’m Mel, and I’m so glad you’re here. We all deserve support, and I appreciate the courage it takes to ask for help. I work primarily with adult women and nonbinary folks and specialize in trauma and addiction. Through exploring how your past continues to live in your mind and body, we can build your capacity, strengthen your relationships, and expand your access to meaning and connection. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck in old patterns, or are seeking a more fulfilling life, let’s work together to find healing and reconnect with your authentic self. Whenever you're ready, reach out. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Licensed Addictions Counselor. I am trained in Implicit Psychotherapy and Brainspotting, and am certified in Integral Somatic Psychology. I have a deep background in the arts and see therapy as a creative and mutual process. We can begin with a free 15-30 minute consultation, either in person or over the phone. My approach to therapy is strongly rooted in our relationship as a safe container for healing. Together we will create a space that feels nonjudgemental, collaborative, and empowering. My hope is that we can meet your unique challenges slowly, consistently, and with enough presence and self-compassion to make space for healing.
