Approach to treatment

Melissa’s approach to treatment focuses on integrating the mind, body and spirit. Melissa’s work with clients focuses on returning a client’s energetic flow to benefit their whole being towards wellness rather than stress and dis-ease that often result in the symptoms that bring one to therapy. Melissa works on opening any energetic blockages in the body due to emotions related to trauma, stress, and relational distress that have occurred throughout one’s life. Melissa focuses on building a safe therapeutic space where clients feel safe to express their emotions and process stressful situations they may be experiencing.
