LPC, 5 years of experience
I work with adults and couples dealing with a wide variety of mental and emotional health needs, including but not limited to depression, anxiety, relationships, career related topics, stress management, trauma and PTSD, grief, LBGTQ+ topics, women’s issues, and infertility. I enjoy working with individuals who are seeking to gain new insight into themselves and the world around them and are active in their counseling journey. My professional motto is "when an individual (or couple) is willing to do the work, we will achieve your mental and emotional health goals."
My counseling style is warm, encouraging, and collaborative. I believe the counseling process is most effective when it is viewed as a partnership. I always seek to provide a space in which clients can safely explore and process their emotional situations free of judgement, with a clinician that is focused on helping each individual grow
I utilize a wide variety of therapeutic methods based on the unique needs of each client. I believe that there is no "one-size-fits-all" solutions, and enjoy the challenge of finding what is effective for each individual.
I work best with clients who are motivated in their mental health journey.
Using a Humanistic approach allows for the client and therapist to collaborate in the treatment/counseling process based on the unique needs of each client.

After one session, Melissa has already identified some core issues for me and some ways to improve upon them. In a gentle and non judgmental way, she has given me hope that I can fix things in my life.
