A private practice for couples and individuals ready to feel steadier, clearer, and more like themselves again.
Melissa is a renowned relationship expert and the owner of Solace and Strength.
Solace and Strength is a family practice Melissa founded alongside her son, Caleb, who serves as Clinical Director. Together, they built it on the belief that real, lasting change happens both individually and within our closest relationships. A military veteran herself, Melissa brings that same discipline and steadiness into every session.
Every session is confidential, collaborative, and paced by you — steady, honest work toward the support you deserve, and the relationships you're trying to repair.
Four focused offerings — choose what fits where you are right now.
For couples working to rebuild trust, communication, or simply remember why they chose each other. A steady, structured space to be heard without the conversation turning into a fight.
For the personal and professional relationships outside your marriage — friendships, family dynamics, and work relationships that shape how you show up every day.
For the moments when life feels technically fine but quietly off-course. These sessions help you get honest about what you actually want — and build a plan to move toward it.
Individual therapy offers a private, supportive space to better understand yourself, work through difficult experiences, and make meaningful changes in your life.
An opportunity to step away from the stress of everyday life — to slow down, reconnect with yourself, and restore your sense of balance. Space to breathe, reflect, and return to who you want to be.
Therapy intensives offer an extended, focused approach for individuals or couples who want to explore a specific concern more deeply than is possible in a typical weekly session.
Instead of working in short increments over several weeks, an intensive provides dedicated time to slow down, identify patterns, process important experiences, and begin creating meaningful change.

Prospective clients start with a free 15-minute consultation — a low-pressure conversation to talk through what you're looking for and see if it's the right fit. Reach out below to schedule yours.
