About Me
Hi, I’m Melyssa, a Registered Counselling Therapist with a passion for helping people navigate life’s challenges. After nearly a decade in the corporate world, I realized my true calling was to support others in finding balance, wellness, and a sense of fulfillment in their lives. Through my own journey of overcoming burnout and rediscovering my love for running and strength training, I found the tools to heal and grow—and I’m committed to helping you do the same.
Who I Work With
I specialize in working with adults and older teens who feel overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck in their personal or professional lives. Whether you’re struggling with stress, relationship issues, or a lack of motivation, I provide a safe, supportive space where we can work together to overcome these challenges.
Many of my clients experience:
- Anxiety and depression
- Relationship difficulties
- Burnout or lack of direction
- Sexual health issues
I offer specialized sex therapy for individuals and couples facing sexual challenges. Sexual health is an essential part of overall wellness, and my approach integrates both emotional and physical aspects of sexuality. Together, we’ll work to overcome obstacles, restore intimacy, and enhance connection in your life. As an ally to the LGBTQ2S+ community, I provide an affirming environment for all clients.
How We’ll Work Together
Every person’s journey is unique, and I believe in a collaborative approach to therapy. Together, we’ll identify what’s holding you back and create a personalized plan that aligns with your goals. Using evidence-based techniques like narrative and solution-focused therapies, I’m here to guide you toward a place of greater wellness and fulfillment.
