Helping people overcome the fear of the unknown...

So many of the reasons that we experience distress have a similar underlying issue- the fear of the unknown.  Are you constantly thinking about every single possibility that might happen in a situation?  Do you feel overwhelmed with the potential a change might bring? Whether it is anxiety, grief and loss, or health issues, the fear of the unknown is present.  If your mind never gives you a quiet moment, and you are ready for a change-No matter what unknown has led you here, you have found the right place...

              Anxiety...                                          Grief and loss ...                                   Health issues...

Overwhelmed, paralyzed by worry and doubt, anxiety spiraling- Start here if this describes you. 
Isolated, lonely, sad, scared, don't know how to pick up the pieces and move forward... start here if this describes you.
Not sure what life and the future can look like now that you are dealing with these medical issues... start here if this describes you.
    Hello, I'm Melanie... I have built a small, online private practice that allows me to focus my attention on you. Although sometimes therapy can be tough, we will always stay within a place that is acceptable for you, but still be a place capable of creating change.  The work in therapy is a partnership- you will no longer be alone in trying to work through things.  We will develop understanding, skills and techniques together.
    Over the years, my practice began to focus on anxiety,  grief/loss, health issues...  and all the things that go along with it- the physical, emotional, and cognitive (thoughts).  Sometimes people will come to therapy because they feel unsure of decisions, they want more control over things in their life...and they don't even realize anxiety is at the core of those things! 
     Therapy with me will feel like having a conversation with someone you feel comfortable with.  I use thoughtful questions and observations to help work through things.  I also love to use humor as a way to diffuse difficult situations, to change perspective, and well.. to laugh!
