Hi, I'm a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in Ohio. I've been providing outpatient therapy to clients all over Ohio for the past 11 years. I love meeting with people and finding out their personal goals and challenges and then creating a therapeutic approach that is unique to the individual and their needs. Creating a strong alliance with each and every client I see helps me to achieve this. This is what makes therapy successful!
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
It's normal for someone to feel nervous meeting a new counselor for the first time. I like to make a client comfortable right away and let them know what counseling sessions with me will be like. I ask a series of questions to get to know you and to understand what it is that you would like to gain from going to therapy.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
I'm always able to meet people right where they're at in their journey and help them in finding a path that begins leading them toward their best selves.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
Most of my experience is in working with women of all ages, working through major life transitions and addressing mental health struggles. I also have experience working with individuals who have experienced trauma.
Eclectic
I tend to draw from a variety of methods as each client's needs are unique. I have extensive experience using Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, trauma-focused therapy, therapy with a spiritual focus, Jungian therapy, and mindfulness-based therapies.

I absolutely adore Melissa. She is so kind and patient focused. I’ve had therapists who just talk at me after saying one thing, but Melissa really listens and wants to know what you feel would work for you, and incorporates that into her work. I was extremely nervous working with a new therapist after so long, but Melissa made me feel calm, comfortable, and heard almost immediately in our first session. I cannot recommend her enough!
