I’m Melody, an LMFT. I work with trauma, LGBTQ+ relationships, EMDR, identity, and sex therapy. Many of my clients are Gen Z and Millennial LGBTQIA+ individuals and couples who want real, longer-term work understanding themselves, healing from what happened, and feeling more at home in their relationships and bodies.

Childhood trauma, family rejection, sexual trauma, intimacy and desire, kink, BDSM, polyamory – whatever the territory, I aim for a space where you do not have to edit yourself first.

I draw from EMDR, narrative therapy, parts work, sex therapy, and postmodern ideas. Humor and creativity show up when they fit. People tell me they feel less alone after finally saying the thing that used to feel too strange or shameful to name. I am supervised by Dr. Amanda Pasciucco at Life Coaching and Therapy because ongoing collaboration matters to me. 

Therapy is serious, yet it does not have to be joyless. Outside of sessions, I am with my wife and our two dogs, Juniper and Peach. I bring a bit of that same warmth, authenticity, and playfulness to the way I connect with clients in sessions.
