Why do I feel like I’m doing everything right, but still falling apart?

On the outside, you’re successful, dependable, and the one everyone turns to. But inside, you feel exhausted, anxious, and weighed down by stress. No matter how hard you try to hold it all together, it feels like it’s never enough.

You’re exhausted from overthinking, self-doubt, or perfectionism.

You’re carrying grief, trauma, or stress that keeps showing up in your body and emotions.

Your mind won’t stop replaying conversations or worst-case scenarios.

You want relief, but don’t have the time or energy for months (or years) of weekly therapy.

Hi, I’m Melissa. 

LPCC, LADC, ART Trained, IFS Trained [she/her/hers ]

I help adults who are carrying the weight of trauma, anxiety, perfectionism, addiction, or burnout find new ways to heal and move forward.

My work blends proven approaches like Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), somatic therapy, and IFS to create real, lasting change.

I meet you exactly where you are, whether you’re looking for deep healing, practical tools, or simply someone who gets it. My goal is to help you find relief, reconnect with yourself, and move forward with more balance and clarity.

How Intensives & Therapy Can Help

  • Trauma & Childhood Emotional Scars

    Abuse, neglect, emotionally immature or alcoholic parents, religious trauma, or painful relationships can leave lasting scars. ART allows your brain to safely reprocess these memories so they no longer carry the same emotional weight, helping you finally feel lighter and more in control.

  • Perfectionism & Overthinking

    Constantly replaying decisions, second-guessing yourself, or feeling like nothing is ever “good enough” is exhausting. Perfectionism can keep you chasing achievement while silently battling guilt, shame, and burnout. ART helps quiet the mental noise, retrain your brain’s stuck loops, and create more space for confidence and calm.

  • Anxiety, Stress, & Burnout

    From sleepless nights to the constant pressure to perform, anxiety keeps your body and mind in overdrive. ART resets the nervous system’s response, so you can move out of survival mode and into a state of grounded clarity.

  • Grief & Loss

    Whether from death, divorce, or major life changes, grief can feel overwhelming and isolating. ART offers a way to honor the loss while reducing the painful intensity of memories, so healing feels possible without losing connection to what matters most.

  • Neurodivergence & Masking

    People-pleasing, hiding parts of yourself, or pushing through overstimulation can leave you drained and disconnected. ART helps reduce the emotional charge of past experiences, freeing up energy so you can show up authentically, without the mask.
