About
She specializes in personalized therapy and offers secure virtual sessions for clients in New York. Melanie works with individuals and couples who are struggling with relationship issues, life transitions, and anxiety. Her approach integrates trauma-informed somatic Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Gestalt therapies that incorporate body-based mindfulness and nervous system re-regulation. Melanie's goal is to help her clients better understand their emotions, establish boundaries, balance control with acceptance, and work through conflict to achieve more fulfilling relationships. She invites her clients to slow down, get present, and reflect, making them feel comfortable enough to be vulnerable and curious about themselves, their relationships, and the world around them. Melanie earned her M.A. and Ed.M. in Psychological Counseling from Teachers College, Columbia University, and has worked in various settings, including group practices, training centers, and outpatient addiction clinics. When not in session, she enjoys making pottery and crafting at home with her pup and two bunnies.
