I offer and share over a decade of clinical experience leading and facilitating individual, group and family sessions.
My practice stems from a Solution focused lens, while applying Narrative techniques in conversations with clients. My strength-based approach creates the opportunity for individuals to engage in building a fresh perspective; free of dis-empowering beliefs and poor coping skills.
My clinical work is rooted in developing a trusting, safe and compassionate environment.
I specialize in working with addiction treatment and come from the belief that while the pattern of the disease of addiction is similar, the solution is not "one size fits all". I provide multiple approaches: from a traditional 12 Steps base, to Smart Recovery, Refuge Recovery and other relapse prevention methods as needed.
From the core of my being, I am passionately committed to assisting, educating and empowering your journey of getting clean/sober, staying clean/sober and living an extraordinary life that you love.
I am also a certified Integrative Coach. Shadow Work is rapidly becoming known as one of the most powerful and effective transformational modalities of our time. Your life is determined by a set of assumptions, core beliefs, behaviors and habits that were birthed out of shame, and are now hidden in the shadow of your unconscious mind, affecting your relationships, your bank account, your body, and blocking your true potential. These often hidden and rejected parts of yourself, create the limited view from which you see yourself and experience the world.
Imagine if instead of being controlled by your shadows, you could step outside of them and finally follow the sacred path you were meant to live – the path of your soul.
It is then that you can finally realize your innate purpose, your capacity for greatness, and a sense of authentic aliveness.
You can dance in the delight of liberation. Rooted in your new found strength, you discover that you have everything you need and open up to new levels of self-acceptance, self-confidence, self-worth and ultimately self – love!
I look forward to partnering up with you to create the fulfilled life that you want

"Though I only came to know Melina and work her for 30 days. In that time she save me from a life of destruction. I was a miserable wreck when she met me. Going on 6 months now I'm the happiest I've been in 20 plus years. She helped save my marriage, my job and my life. She can dam sure do the same for you. All you have to do is want it. Melina is in the top 10 of the most influential people in my life. She honestly cares."

"I don't think there is enough room or time for me to explain what a difference Mel has, and continues to make in my life. I have struggled with depression, ED, anxiety, sexual and physical abuse, as well as my own alcohol abuse. As you can see I was an extremely “difficult” case and have gone to about a hundred psychologist, counselors, psychiatrists, etc. Melina has by far been one of, if not my absolute favorites due to her ability to patiently understand me on a deeply personal level and collaborate with me on multiple solutions when difficult situations/emotions arrive. She continues to be an integral part in my life and helping me stay positive throughout. I have come to love Melina. Simply put, Melina is amazing and I would recommend her to literally anyone."

"Following my darkest moments I met Melina, she was the light that guided me back. Through working with Melina I was taught the tools that I now use daily to guide myself and allow myself to stay on the path I truly desire. Now Melina isn't perfect, but certainly was perfect for me. I can guarantee that if you decide to work with her and put in the effort; she will be perfect for you as well. I will be forever grateful for Melina, the tools I was given so freely, and her consistent encouragement to be the person I know I can be."

"Melina is second to none. Compassion, knowledgeable, driven, caring, strong, happy, and loving describe her in a few words. However, it doesn’t do Melina any justice because she goes above and beyond any word that could describe her but with that of love she has helped save lives of many and separates her from others. For those who have worked with Melina, they know she is her own woman that speaks from the heart and her job isn’t work but that of her God given ability to change lives. I’m grateful for she has been an inspiration and I carry her words with me...."

"I have worked with over 20 therapists and councilors, not something I am proud of, but working with Melina was a huge part in my recovery that set me up for success. She establishes a rapport with her clients that few manage to do. She is honest, she is kind, she embodies a character that school and clinical hours can not teach you. I am happy to recommend her services to anyone and everyone."

"Melina has an energy unlike anyone I have ever known. She has allowed me to have epiphanies about myself and my life, as well as form a self-awareness of myself that I never thought possible. She has the ability to truly see through people and reach them in the way that works for them. She is simply the best."

"Absolutely amazing individual. Always listened extremely well. Melina helped me overcome some major battles that I was dealing with and helped me rediscover a part of me that I completely forgot existed. Highly recommended to anyone looking to create huge change in their lives and want to deal with someone who is effective in their field. Thank you!!!"
