Meet Melissa, MA

Registered Psychologist

Accepting New Clients for virtual therapy only

Many people come to therapy carrying thoughts, feelings, and emotions they haven't been able to move through on their own. Over time, this can quietly wear down your relationship with yourself and the people around you — leaving you feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or like you've lost sight of who you are. You don't have to keep living that way.

In our work together, you'll have a space to show up honestly and without judgment. We'll spend time uncovering what's already working in your life and building on your existing strengths — because the capacity for change is already in you. We'll also work on practical skills to help you feel more grounded and steady in the moments that feel most out of control, so that hard emotions don't have to derail your day, your relationships, or your sense of self. Inner calm, confidence, and improved self-awareness are often what people find on the other side of this work.

I work with teens, couples, families, and adults, and I especially love supporting people who are navigating the in-between — whether that's a teenager finding their footing, a couple trying to find their way back to each other, or an adult ready to finally do something about the anxiety, stress, or pain they've been carrying for years. Whatever brings you here, you deserve support that meets you where you are.

Experience

I am a Registered Psychologist with a Master's Degree in Counselling Psychology from Gonzaga University. Over the past 15 years, I've worked with children, youth, families, and adults through Alberta Health Services and Recovery Alberta across a wide range of concerns — including depression, anxiety, trauma, low self-esteem, relationship challenges, and parenting stress. I bring both clinical depth and a genuine belief that change is possible, no matter how long things have felt hard.
