Highly recommend Melissa. She is a great listener and asks questions that I never would’ve considered to help me process my challenges in a new light. She’s awesome!

Melissa is kind and patient. Rather than telling me what to do/what to think/how to feel - she has allowed me to express myself, feel my feelings, and has aided me in processing and moving forward in situations. Melissa has been a great aide in my healing and I am very thankful!

Melissa helped me work through some difficult stuff. With a straight forward way of looking at things, and talking through options and alternatives, she helped me come to terms with a decision and move forward. I was so relieved after that was behind me. I’m glad we are still working together because there are plenty of other areas of my life that we can work on together.
