About Me

Welcome! As your potential therapist, I would like you to know that I really value the relationship that we create together in therapy. Before we have a chance to meet or if you want to have a better understanding of who I am, I have included some information about myself so you can decide if we might be a good fit. Having an open and trusting relationship is very important in making the most of our time together and getting the support you need.

I completed my master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Marquette University. I have been in the mental health field for almost 10 years, and I have enjoyed using my training as a licensed psychotherapist to help many different people from all walks of life. I have been meeting with clients online for the past 5 years.

I am passionate about empowering others, creating awareness around difficult situations, and ultimately supporting people in creating meaningful lives and relationships. I primarily use a cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) framework which means we problem-solve together to understand and change the thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that interfere with your fulfillment and success. I also often incorporate other theories and skills (e.g., mindfulness, psychodynamic, etc.) with the understanding that each person's treatment should be individualized to their specific needs and preferences. Prior clients have shared that they find me to be warm, welcoming, and non-judgmental.

I look forward to meeting you!

Melissa is very empathetic and is so good at listening and dissecting. She does a very good job of helping understand yourself. Such a kind and caring heart. So lucky to have her helping me.

Melissa is understanding and supportive. She helps me think about things from different perspectives and lets me drive my goals based on my own logical and healthy thinking.
