About
Welcome!
No matter where you are in your journey, therapy is a brave choice. It’s my honor and mission to provide effective and authentic care to help you navigate life’s twists and turns.
I specialize (and love) working with complex trauma, dissociation, and relationship issues. I work to help you have more understanding and compassion toward yourself and your thought or behavior patterns. Together, I’ll help you learn new patterns and behaviors to improve your relationships, your mental health, and your life.
I offer virtual therapy for individuals or couples/partnerships to help address issues including:
-Personality Disorders
-Trauma
-Dissociation
-Relationship conflict
-Anxiety
I provide personalized therapy to help you reach your goals. I am trained in EMDR and DBT and can help you learn new skills to take to your day to day life while processing deeper pain and trauma to help you live a more present and fulfilling life.
Working together to provide compassionate healing.
About Mel
I was born and raised in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, a place I am very proud to call home. I studied Social Work at Augsburg University in Minnesota, where I got my Master’s degree in 2020. During my internship at the Walk In Counseling Center, I was lucky to be exposed to a diverse clientele with different needs, backgrounds, and stories.
I found my passion in working with adults with complex trauma as well as working with couples/relationships. I am endlessly fascinated with the human brain and how well we are able to survive and cope.
When I am not working, I am reading or watching movie (probably a horror movie, I am a horror nerd), playing with my big, sweet dog, Luci, enjoying the outdoors, or being with family and friends. I love to knit (even though I am bad at it) and am always looking for my a new project to take on!
