Hello, My name is Melody. I enjoy helping clients transform their lives. I am passionate about providing treatment through a faith-centered lens of restoration. My areas of clinical focus are as follows: • Trauma • Post Traumatic Stress Disorder • Depression • Mood regulation • Anxiety Disorder • Anger Management • Attention Deficit Disorder • Life Transitions • Grief & Loss • Substance Use & Addiction • ARC - Attachment, Regulation, Competence Spirituality.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
I enjoy incorporate teaching tools that empower individuals in the process of healing from past hurt and use individualized, evidence-based treatment interventions to assist you in reaching their goals. In our first session together, I will want to know what has brought you to counseling. I will want to hear your story, understand your life experiences and hear a little bit about how you grew up. This will help me to begin to understand who you are. Each session after this, we, will build from that foundation. I will help you notice patterns and themes in your life and pay attention to interpersonal dynamics with the goal of helping you develop and more grounded sense of self.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I believe that true healing of mind, body, and soul is achieved through the restoration of the heart. I enables individuals to develop healthy coping strategies, and endeavors to equip individuals with teaching tools that empower them in the process of healing from past hurts.

Christian Counseling
Christian Counseling - OPTION My areas of clinical interest are faith-based emotional recovery, spiritual formation, post-traumatic growth, and family systems.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Understanding that mental health often co-occurs with other conditions and is often rooted in early trauma experiences, I incorporates strength-based and cognitive behavioral therapy in my work with individuals. I help individuals identify and understand the root of thier thinking patterns, negative core beliefs, emotional and behavioral responses that will lead them away from undesired outcomes in thier interpersonal lives.
Culturally Sensitive Therapy
Understanding that every individual is to be recognized. Love, through individual understanding of health, mental health and wellbeing can be as diverse as the person the topic. I value that we all have an individual story, and that it is a privilege to share, honor, connect to, and respect those stories. I value that communication is community and how we begin to understand each other. I value that there is purpose in each life and want to help cultivate, prepare and inspire. Applying culturally sensitive therapy aligns with my personal philosophy of meeting people as they are; where they are; getting to offer health, healing, and growth.
