The healing journey is like embarking on an ocean voyage. At the outset, you stand on the shore, gazing at the vast expanse before you—a tapestry of waves, currents, and distant horizons. Counseling and EMDR therapy become your sturdy vessel, equipped with tools and guidance to navigate the waters.

As you sail, you encounter different weather—calm seas, turbulent storms, and everything in between—mirroring the emotional ups and downs of healing. The ocean represents the depths of your emotions, sometimes serene and reflective, other times fierce and challenging.

Throughout the journey, you learn to adjust your sails, finding strength in vulnerability and resilience in adversity. Each wave you navigate brings newfound insights, healing old wounds and shaping a path towards inner peace and self-discovery.

With each passing day and session, you move closer to distant shores where clarity and wholeness await, marking not just an end to the journey, but a profound transformation—a testament to your courage and the power of the healing ocean within.

About Me

Client Testimonials

Former Client

“The weeks surrounding the birth of our daughter involved different medical trauma. Then, I found my daughter unresponsive in her crib and even though she was alright in the end, my mind was flooded with fear and anxiety. In that hard time, I reached out to Melanie and she immediately responded with kindness. Our sessions utilized EMDR therapy and in a few sessions I felt like a different person. Over the past two and a half years, Melanie has been a constant source of support. She has helped me navigate life as a new mom and taught me how to give myself grace. I tell her every time I leave her office how thankful I am to her for her work. She quite literally pulled me from ruins and set my feet on solid ground more than once and I am forever grateful.”

Former Client

"Melanie is a miracle worker and I mean that with every ounce of truth. She has worked with me directly out of the darkest time of my life and has helped me discover my strength and my power to find light again. It is clear that Melanie has been called to help others and she does so, so fearlessly and passionately. When I cry, I don't feel alone. When I talk, she understands. Melanie is a safe space for me and I truly do not know what I would have done without her. She is one of the greatest reasons that I was able to find light again and for that, I am forever grateful."

Former Client

"After EMDR I went through some major life changes and there were moments when I wondered if it would “stick” or would it eventually fade away. Almost a year later, despite some challenging times it has never once waivered. I know it sounds crazy but it’s as if this is what I have always believed."

Former Client

"So that’s it, the greatest change I experienced from the EMDR was having the weight of shame that marked me for years erased and replaced with a feeling of being loved and wanted."
