Welcome! As one person recently asked - "are you a "woo-woo" therapist?" Absolutely! But I also like my woo-woo backed by science. How about you? Do you like a holistic approach to life? Are you ready to begin your healing journey? As your therapist, my aim is to guide you through your inner world, reconnect you with your strengths, and foster healing. I provide a safe, compassionate, and non-judgmental space where you can express your authentic self. Our sessions are adaptable, allowing us to explore deeper aspects of your experiences at your own pace.

My psychotherapy and hypnosis practice are primarily via telehealth. I am licensed to provide clinical therapy services for all of Washington state. In-person services such as Reiki or Reiki and psychotherapy are offered in Spokane Washington, Seattle Washington, or Puerto Vallarta Mexico - it just depends on where I physically am. Please don't hesitate to reach out with any and all questions regarding scheduling and your needs and wants.

Meet Melissa

My practice is unique and flexible with a specialization in supporting women throughout their lifespan, particularly during significant life transitions, such as perinatal and postpartum mood disorders, family planning, infertility, pregnancy loss, or termination for any reason, complex trauma and PTSD, and grief, loss, and acceptance.

Our work together will be holistic, drawing from various frameworks, including narrative, hypnosis, existential, relational, mindful, developmental, Reiki, and somatic. Together, we'll form a partnership to create a personalized path toward healing. I'd love to hear your questions and thoughts - please send me an email, text or give me a call.

Clinical Hypnosis
Clinical Hypnosis
Clinical hypnosis is an altered state of awareness, perception, or consciousness used by clinicians for treating a psychological or physical problem. It is a highly relaxed state. Hypnosis is a state of inner absorption, concentration, and focused attention. It is like using a magnifying glass to focus the rays of the sun and make them more powerful. Similarly, when our minds are concentrated and focused, we are able to use our minds more powerfully.
Reiki & Psychotherapy
Reiki & Psychotherapy
The integration of Reiki and psychotherapy focuses on a holistic approach, one that considers the “whole” person and includes a union of mind and body awareness. The modality focuses on the energy centers in the body and healing trauma and pain stored in those energy fields that may arise due to life circumstance. The health and wellbeing of an individual considers the dynamic balance and harmonious energy flow of the mind-body-spirit-soul as well as the interpersonal and environmental aspects of that living being.
Reiki
Reiki
Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. It is administered by "laying on hands" and is based on the idea that an unseen "life force energy" flows through us and is what causes us to be alive. If one's "life force energy" is low, then we are more likely to get sick or feel stress, and if it is high, we are more capable of being happy and healthy.

Animal Reiki, 30 minutes/$55, 60 minutes/$110
Animals suffer from physical illnesses and health conditions. At times, they sustain injuries or may require surgery. Aches and pains frequently emerge as they age. Mental health and emotional issues are common too and the latter often triggers behavioral problems. Reiki is not a magical cure and is not an alternative to conventional veterinary care but it is a natural, calm therapy that promotes the body’s natural process of self-healing and is enjoyed by many animals.
