Get to Know
Hi, I’m Melissa! I’m a therapist who feels truly privileged to walk with clients through their healing journey. Life can get overwhelming, and I’m here to offer guidance and a safe space to help you work through the challenges you’re facing.
​
I have experience helping people of all ages with a wide range of issues. Whether you’re dealing with something new that’s throwing you off or something you’ve been struggling with for a while, I can offer tools and support to help you feel more like yourself again.
​
I especially enjoy working with women in their 40s and beyond, as well as individuals with high-functioning autism and ADHD. I also have a lot of experience with children and teens, and I’m here to provide support and strategies for parents who are working to better connect with and understand their kids. My goal is to improve family dynamics and make life at home more manageable.
​
In addition to my therapy work, I have extensive experience with mental health and academic testing, which can help you understand and address any challenges from a clearer perspective.
I believe you’re the expert on your own life, and I’m here to help you build on your strengths in ways that feel empowering and achievable. Change can be tough, but we’ll work together to navigate your path toward a healthier, more fulfilling life. And if faith is important to you, I’m happy to incorporate that into our work as well.
