About
Mechia has experience working with adults who may be addressing life transitions, stress, anxiety, relationship/friendship issues, or women’s issues. She uses different types of modalities such as person-centered, cognitive behavioral therapy, narrative therapy, etc, and tailors her therapeutic approach to meet the needs of her clients.
