Hello my name is Melissa and I believe that the interactions that we have can have a lasting impact on someone’s life, therefore, I strive to engage with people in a positive, nonjudgmental, empathetic, and understanding manner. I have clinical experience in collaborating with individuals in multiple settings such as outpatient treatment in which substance use disorders, behavioral issues, and mental health were addressed. In this capacity, I also provided caregiver support whether it be a significant other, parent, or child. I also have clinical experience working in a medical capacity where I provide support to individuals and their families who are adjusting to and/or having difficulty adjusting to medical diagnoses. Throughout my career, I have worked in the aforementioned capacity as well as provided support to foster parents in addition to parents whose children were placed into foster care. In addition to me being a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I have the following certifications: DASA Certification, Identification & Reporting of Child Abuse and Maltreatment Certification, School Violence Prevention and Intervention Certification, Mental Health First Aid, Trauma Informed Care, CASAC-T, CTMH pending, and CCATP pending.

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

In our first session together we will begin to buid rapport, discuss expectations xof eachother, and discuss specific challenges that you are facing and would like to address. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.

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