About me

You don’t have to keep holding it all together by yourself. Whether you’re navigating the pressures of parenting, the tension of a strained relationship, or the emotional weight of complex family dynamics—you’re not alone. You want peace, clarity, and stronger connections, but it’s hard to know where to start when you’re always the one holding everything up. Hi, I’m Melana—a therapist and a single mother by choice. I understand the overwhelming mental load that comes with managing a family, a career, and relationships all at once. I bring both lived experience and clinical expertise to help you navigate the tough stuff with honesty, intention, and heart. I work with individuals, couples, and families who are ready to explore what’s not working—and start making changes they’re proud of. My approach is grounded, compassionate, and practical. I use evidence-based methods like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), solution-focused techniques, and strength-based strategies to help you gain clarity and momentum. If you’re ready to design a life with more joy, peace, and meaningful relationships, I’d be honored to walk with you. Let’s figure it out—together.
