I'm Mel and I am from Littleton, Colorado. My passion is to use therapy to help adolescents understand and navigate their nervous systems and how they interact with themselves and others to live a fun, balanced and fulfilled life, while achieving their goals. I use CBT, DBT, Motivational Interviewing, Strengths Based Therapy, and Play Therapy. I have experience working with children and adolescents ages 8-17 with depression, anxiety, adhd, substance use and emotional regulation. When I am not in the office, you can usually find me in the mountains, hiking, skiing, four wheeling, camping and backpacking or eating my favorite food, pizza.
