About

I can help you heal your relationship with your partner and yourself.

Are you feeling stuck? Overwhelmed by conflict? Feeling like roommates with your partner? Losing hope? I've been there....and I can help. I use the Gottman Method to help my clients because it is built on hard science and proven data. Working with me, you will learn how to strengthen your relationship in three primary areas: Friendship, Conflict Management, and the creation of “Shared Meaning”. Through specific tools and teaching skills, I will guide you in strengthening intimacy, respect, and affection. I will help you heal emotional wounds, learn to communicate effectively, and focus on shared goals. Drawing on my training with Dr. Brene Brown, I offer courses for women struggling with perfectionism who may be feeling “never good enough”. I help them identify the things that get in the way of authentic connection with themselves and others, such as people pleasing, self blame, guilt, and burn out. And I help them develop more self compassion, self confidence, and a true sense of their worthiness.

“The inner work it takes to self-reflect, take responsibility for your part, along with the past you bring into a relationship will always be a difficult path to travel. But there isn’t another guide that I would recommend more than Melissa on that journey.”
