I'm Melissa, a Licensed Professional Counselor of Mental Health and a counselor educator. I care about the whole person and strive to make it possible for clients to be fully themselves in any session. I work from a position of cultural humility and curiosity. We begin where you are and work toward where you want to be.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

The first session is all about getting to know you as a person. I'll ask about your current situation and the people and things that matter to you. We'll review your history and discover the strengths and skills you have and the ones you want to develop.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

Sometimes we just need someone to listen to us and help us sort out what we're thinking and feeling. I'm known for my sense of humor and the ability to listen with curiosity and compassion. I'm flexible and can adapt to help you work in a way that meets your counseling goals.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

Our lives are lived in relationships and I want to help clients build or rebuild healthy, resilient connections--at home, at work, and wherever you engage people you care about. Relationship issues include parenting education, blended families, sexuality, and spirituality. I work with individuals, couples, and families. We can focus on current concerns and older trauma.
