Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
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.

Many people wonder whether online therapy can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or navigating life changes, research has shown that remote therapy can be as effective as traditional in-person sessions.
One major benefit is flexibility – clients can choose the format that fits their schedule and comfort level, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. That flexibility often makes it easier to keep appointments and maintain momentum in therapy.
Therapists offering online care are licensed professionals, and clients may switch therapists if they need a different fit. For many people, online therapy provides a practical, accessible way to address everyday mental health concerns and move toward meaningful change.
