Not currently accepting patients

Hi there, I'm Melba!

I am a dedicated and highly emphatic therapist. My personal style is Eclectic therapy because it allows me to utilize multiple theoretical orientations and techniques. I believe that each person or patient is unique and their experiences and needs are also unique and that’s why I use the technique that will fit the moment and the need. I am very flexible and will explain what and why I am utilizing the approach at the moment. I believe that patients already bring the answers or solutions within and my job is to help them identify their strengths and to work through their weaknesses. I have been working in the mental health field for twenty years. My personal experiences have made me the person I am today and also help me to connect with people’s experiences. I believe in what I do because I know that people can change their circumstances all they need is willingness and conscious personal awareness. My strengths are female (relational, self-esteem, domestic abuse, family issue, vocational, work problems/stress, couples, PTSD, trauma).
