LCSW, 10 years of experience
I am an LCSW in Santa Rosa California, seeing clients via Telehealth. I treat families, teens and adults facing anxiety, stress, life transitions, self-esteem issues, grief/loss, and family conflict. I have been practicing social work for close to a decade now and have experience and training using CBT, mindfulness and somatic exercises. I believe in a collaborative, client-centered approach to therapy and have extensive experience working with children and families impacted by trauma. I love using patience, humor and compassion to authentically connect with clients.
In our first session together we will go over any paperwork needed to complete the intake process and then I like to get into what brought you to therapy and how we can work together to accomplish your goals.
I love working with ages 18-65 and families. I am told that I am strength based and direct.
Clients who may be seeking care with managing life transitions, anxiety and depression may find me most helpful.
Client centered approach to learning what skills you are already using and adapting/learning new skills.

I could not speak more highly about Melissa. I have loved being able to work with her and she has genuinely brought me to a place where I actually feel happy. She has given me so many tools to deal with all the problems I come across and I could not thank her more for the help she has provided me.
