Melissa is a psychotherapist specializing in attachment theory, couples counseling, parenting, and family healing, utilizing several experiential dynamic models appropriate to the individuals she attunes to. She sees individuals, couples, and families from adolescents and beyond.
Before she became a licensed clinical social worker, Melissa founded a media nonprofit for people in recovery from addictions, was a documentary filmmaker (where she honed her skills as an interviewer), and served on various boards as well as volunteered for numerous nonprofit agencies.
Melissa is quite familiar with the topic of burn out—not only as a practitioner helping clients with their experiences, but also in her own work, which can be emotionally draining if she is not consciously focused on a regimen of self-care and accessing healthy resources.
She is honored to help promote protective measures and ideas that we can all turn to to prevent this destructive, and at times dangerous phenomenon.
