Melanie is passionate about helping couples and individuals experience more pleasure and fulfilment in their relationships and lives. Some of the issues Melanie has worked with include removal of shame, desire mismatch, body image issues, sexual compulsion, betrayal trauma, identity issues, depression, anxiety, sexual trauma, low libido, erectile dysfunction, and premature ejaculation.

​

Melanie helps clients repair and enhance their physical and emotional connections, so that they may enjoy their relationships to the fullest potential. With a gentle but direct approach, she works with clients to help them be more intentional in their sexual encounters. She offers a judgment-free space that encourages exploration and authenticity, and she is sex-positive, LGBTQA+ affirming, and has experience working with poly and open relationships.

​

Melanie uses an integrative approach that is tailored to each client, including modalities like CBT, EFT, and Gottman. She is trauma-informed and EMDR-trained. She holds a Master’s in Counseling from St. Edward’s University and a Bachelor’s of International Studies from Texas State University.
