About me
Hi my name is Melissa and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor who believes that to have a successful outcome in therapy, the client and therapist must first build a strong rapport. I pride myself in offering sincere compassionate counseling services that are client centered. I am trained and will use one of several therapeutic modalities, depending on the issue at hand. These modalities may include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, Solution Focused Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Narrative Therapy and Mindfulness-Based Therapy. An Integrated approach may be utilized as well.
I am often told that I am caring, sensitive, energetic and a good listener. I have wanted to be a therapist for as long as I can remember and I am so happy to have the privilege of getting to know you and be part of your life journey.
I look forward to working with you!

This woman is extraordinary and has been here through the hardest moment of my life. I’ve always felt seen and heard and understood, and encouraged by her to be my best self. Just FYI, I am four months into the separation of an 18 year relationship. Melissa has helped me understand and diagnose my ADHD and for the first time in 42 years I feel like I am getting to the core of what many of my life‘s issues have been centered around. Wow I couldn’t be more grateful for this person.

Melissa is kind and wise. I appreciate her perspective and support. She is open-minded and has a great sense of humor. I wish there were more therapists like Melissa.
