Get to Know Melissa
Who I work with: Adolescents & Adults
I believe everyone is on their own unique path, and sometimes that path can feel stressful or overwhelming. My goal is to support your growth and empower you with the tools and confidence to navigate life’s challenges with greater ease.
Building a genuine connection with clients is at the heart of my work. I strive to create a safe, non-judgmental, and supportive space where you feel heard and understood. Therapy with me is a collaborative process, and I tailor my approach to your needs by drawing from person-centered, strengths-based, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) techniques.
I have experience working with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, and self-esteem challenges. No matter where you are in your journey, I will meet you there—and walk alongside you as you move toward healing and growth.
LET’S EMBARK ON A PATH FORWARD - TOGETHER!
More about me:
I’m a dog mom to a Boston Terrier named Penny. She brightens my world! I also consider myself quite the bookworm! Nothing like a good book to end the day. When not reading, you can find me spending time with friends and family, listening to music, collecting houseplants, or enjoying a nice crisp Diet Coke.
