About
The therapy I offer is most effective for people who have already spent time working on themselves in therapy, spiritual practice, or by other means. My main treatment focus is developmental trauma, which means the harm caused in relationships growing up. As adults that can look like high functioning depression, anxiety, relationship problems, creative blocks, numbness/dissociation, lack of progress, and other expressions. We work with mindfulness based somatic therapy in an compassionate, supportive, and non-judgmental environment using a wide array of methods. Together we will uncover the healing your body is striving to access. Melissa graduated in 2011 from the University of Michigan - Dearborn Clinical Health Psychology Masters program. I am trained in a variety of methods including level 2 sensorimotor psychotherapy, which has overlap with Hakomi and IFS, and continue to participate in and offer ongoing study and consultation in body based healing practices. I love working with spiritual practitioners, artists, therapists, healthcare providers, and anyone ready for transformation. Having done lots of healing work myself couples with many years experience offering therapy, I understand the innate healing capacity that lies within us all. Please note, I do NOT work with insurance companies.
