Not currently accepting patients

Hi there, I'm Melissa!

I am a licensed clinical social worker who is eager to work with individuals of any background who are seeking to grow and heal. As a first-generation Latina, I understand the challenges of navigating all new beginnings.

My approach

My background in social work allows me to provide a holistic approach and treat the whole person. The therapeutic modalities that I use most with clients include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution Focused Therapy.

My focus

I have experience in working with clients who may be experiencing depression, anxiety, interpersonal issues, trauma, and challenges with changes and adjustment.

My communication style

I strive to create a space that feels safe and allows for exploration and connectivity between myself and my clients. I am driven to create a space that allows my clients to process and explore their challenges and insecurities that may prevent them from inner peace and healing.
