Honoring Your Story
“Hope is the thing with feathers, that perches in the soul,
And sings the tune without the words, And never stops - at all…” -
Emily Dickinson
Meet Melissa
Welcome to a collaborative counseling relationship! With lived experiences in my specialty areas, I have a unique perspective in understanding the isolating nature of impaired fertility functioning, fertility treatments, perinatal and postpartum, and family forming. You are not alone. Hope can often feel out of reach and life out of your control. I assure you together we can find the smallest glimmer of hope and forge a path toward healing..
My Commitment
Cultural Humility
Discrimination is systemic and the effects transgenerational. Minding Your Nest, PLLC commits to leading antiracist lives in and outside of the counseling relationship. My commitment to clients includes continually checking my internal bias, working to remove harmful assumptions, and engage in social justice to reduce racism and inequity.
Affectional and Gender Inclusivity
At Minding Your Nest, I provide culturally sensitive perspectives, promoting equity for all including honoring the unique lives of LGBTQIA individuals, couples, and queer families. I am committed to addressing harmful impacts of hetero and cisgender normativity.
