About Melinda
Melinda draws on a humanistic, client-centered approach. That means sessions focus on a person's strengths, values, and goals rather than labels. She encourages clients to notice their own resources and build on what already works for them.
Her background includes a master’s degree in Clinical Psychology from Antioch University Los Angeles and more than 13 years in practice as an LMFT. She has helped people navigate relationship concerns, self-esteem struggles, grief, parenting stress, postpartum depression, pregnancy and childbirth challenges, and issues related to sexual orientation and identity.
In sessions she aims for clear, respectful conversation and practical homework when it helps. People can expect space to talk things through, try small changes, and review what helped between visits.
Melinda supports people dealing with divorce and separation, family of origin issues, intimacy-related concerns, and bipolar-related challenges. She invites anyone considering therapy to take the first step and see if her style fits their needs.
