My Ideal Client
Seeking a therapist shows you're committed to improving yourself. The client-therapist relationship is key to the process. I've seen the most progress in clients who are motivated to change and learn about themselves.
I truly believe that the strong connection between therapist and client makes it possible for real, long-term changes to happen. As the therapist, I walk with you and provide a safe place for your growth. You know your life best, and my job is to support you on your journey.
I have a great passion for collaborating with individual adults navigating through various challenges and striving to attain a more fulfilling and meaningful life. These challenges may encompass but are not limited to, feelings of depression, anxiety, fear, isolation, and struggles with identity, as well as difficulties related to eating disorders and body dysphoria.
About Me
Hello! I am Melissa, your therapist, mentor, cheerleader, and guide. I was born in Denver and raised in Seattle. I have lived in the PNW most of my life. I am in awe of the nature, views, and wildlife.
I began working in mental health in 2007, where I worked with adolescents for many years. I graduated from Antioch University, Seattle, in 2016. During my time, I began working with adults with severe and persistent mental illness. Through my experience working with both children and adults, I realize that many of our trials and tribulations stem from early childhood. It then became my passion to learn everything I could about childhood trauma and how it often leads to symptoms. It led me to the study of complex trauma and how to treat all the complexities of a non-DSM diagnosis. Currently, I am pursuing my doctorate in Clinical Education and Supervision at Antioch University.
I gave my practice, the name Whole Path, because I believe that all experiences and aspects of our lives lead us down a path to who we are today. Therefore, it is up to me to create a path to the individual you aspire to through the work of therapy.
In my little spare time, I like reading fiction, watching movies, being outdoors, traveling, and spending time with my son. You can also catch me watching TikTok's, laughing my ass off.
