About Me

Mello is a warm-hearted psychologist; she cultivates empathetic understanding through genuine connection. She utilizes active listening skills to create a safe and accepting space for clients that fosters trust and collaboration. She is dedicated to helping people gain a deeper understanding of themselves and help develop healthy life skills.

During her Master’s in Clinical Psychology, Mello observed a variety of cases; including anxiety, depression, relationship issues, ADHD, and stress. Her academic experience has given her a solid foundation of skills for her professional life. 

She believes that no two individuals walk the same path, and hence crafts her approach to meet each client’s unique needs. She uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and rational emotive behavioral therapy (REBT) in her approach, with a foundation in humanistic psychology. This makes her approach more eclectic, and based on the belief that every individual has the potential to change their lives. Mello also takes an intersectional approach, with a belief that society has an impact on an individual’s lived experience. She’s dedicated to expanding her worldview and understanding different cultural perspectives.     

Outside work, Mello is a creative individual who loves to paint, write, and cook. She also enjoys hikes in nature, reading, and traveling. Her hobbies enhance her understanding and expression of emotions, which fosters empathy and compassion in her practice.
