About me

Hi, I’m Melissa, a psychiatric nurse practitioner. I provide telehealth medication management services for adults, specializing in the treatment of anxiety, depression, trauma, and other mental health conditions. I take a whole-person approach that combines medication, supplements, lifestyle support, and practical coping strategies. We’ll begin where you are and work together to build a strong foundation rooted in emotional, physical, and practical supports.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

Our first appointment is an opportunity to get to know you and understand your history, concerns, preferences, and goals. We’ll review your situation, discuss options, and create a plan that feels right for you. I aim to provide a safe, supportive space where you feel heard and clear about next steps. Please note: ! You will receive an Intake packet to be completed at least 24 hours before your intake. *Due to this being a telehealth only practice and pending DEA regulation changes for 2026, I am no longer accepting clients in need of ongoing management of controlled substances, which include ADHD medications / stimulants, benzodiazepines, and hypnotics. * I do not complete evaluations for disability, worker’s compensation, forensic purposes, or emotional support animals.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I offer compassionate care that supports you in taking control of your mental health. I listen closely and tailor treatment to your unique needs, considering your emotional, physical, social, and spiritual well-being. My approach combines clinical expertise with practical supports to guide you toward meaningful, sustainable change.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

While I have experience treating a wide range of mental health concerns, my primary focus is on anxiety and depression. Through my telehealth practice, I provide accessible medication management services to adults from all walks of life in Pennsylvania who are ready to actively engage in their mental health journey. Brief therapy is included when appropriate but is not a replacement for a separate therapist. Standalone therapy is not offered.

I cannot be happier that I found Melissa! She is a caring, warm, open minded provider who has helped me really over come one of the hardest points in my life. She listens to all of my concerns, past experiences, and current ones throughly. She is able to provide real time feedback while challenging me to keep progressing in a positive way!

Melissa creates an environment that feels open minded and encouraging, which allows me to feel comfortable to share authentically and openly myself. She allows space for all emotions and encourages self acceptance and self-love but is also challenging and helps me to understand other perspectives. She is able to discern which approach is needed for the situation. I would highly recommend Melissa to anyone, her human approach to therapy makes her an asset to all.
