Hi, I am a Licenced Marriage and Family Therapist. I have been working as a therapist for 10 years. My goal is to provide guidance, support, and feedback in a safe therapeutic space to ultimately help you heal and strengthen your resilience.

Hi, I am a Licenced Marriage and Family Therapist.

I help my clients identify areas they would like to develop and learn new coping skills in order to enhance strengths and abilities which can help them achieve a greater degree of happiness and contentment in their lives.

First session

In our first session we'll start with brief introductions, gather a brief history, and develop goals of treatment.

Strengths

I work with a variety of issues including struggling with life stresses, anxiety, depression, family issues, divorce, trauma, victims of abuse, grief and eating disorders.

Ideal clients

I believe it takes courage to seek help and personal growth, which is why I meet you where you are, emotionally, to work collaboratively with you. If you would like a supportive therapist who cares about helping you achieve your goals and find the quality of life you seek, I encourage you to contact me to discuss your situation and what therapy might do for you.

Treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

I am CBT trained. I will help you identify and reframe your negative thoughts.

I felt comfortable almost immediately with Melissa. I liked the fact that she shared her marital status and what church she attended. That helped with the discomfort of trying therapy for the first time. Look forward to it second visit and beyond.
