I'm Melissa, a trauma survivor, mother, life coach, and pre-licensed counselor based in Montreal, Canada. My journey into this work began with my own path through complex trauma, emotional pain, and the long road of healing. I know what it feels like to carry invisible wounds, to feel lost in the dark, and to still choose to rise.

Through Inner Light Therapy, I offer a space where others can feel seen, safe, and supported—no masks, no judgment. I specialize in trauma-informed care, emotional regulation, domestic violence recovery, and helping people reconnect with their sense of self. My approach is grounded in empathy, lived experience, and clinical training in CBT, DBT, and ACT.

I am a member of the Association of Cooperative Counselling Therapists of Canada (ACCT), the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association (CCPA), and the Quebec Counselling Association (QCA), and I’m committed to ethical, compassionate, and ongoing professional growth.

“Nothing is impossible—the word itself says, I’m possible.”
— Audrey Hepburn

Whether you're here to begin, continue, or deepen your healing, I’m honored to walk beside you.
