Hello! My name is Melissa and I am a mental health counselor who has obtained their LPCC (Licensed Practical Clinical Counselor). I specialize in helping adults navigate anxiety, depression and life transitions. My approach combines warmth, compassion, and evidence-based therapies like CBT. Through the use of evidence- based strategies, we will be able to use a variety of performance skills ranging from mindset and motivation to improving focus and concentration, to developing confidence and mental toughness. I believe therapy should feel like a supportive conversation, a two-sided dialogue with room for reflection, healing and growth.
During our first session, I will be asking a lot of questions in order for me to learn as much about you as I can. This allows me to get an idea of what may be going on. We will also discuss treatment frequency and what that will look like moving forward.
What stands out about me compared to other therapists is my attention to detail, active listening skills and empathetic approach.
I am best positioned to serve adults who are looking for help to navigate anxiety, depression, or any other type of life transitions they may be facing.

CBT helps to identify false, or negative thoughts and ideas that have lead to be problem behaviors in the past or currently. This type of therapy tends to help majority of those struggling with depression, anxiety and PTSD.
