A note from Melissa
Through great pain comes better awareness and understanding about ourselves and the world around us. My journey as a counselor began during my experience with war deployments, which inspired my search to find ways to help others who are hurting. Exposure to military life changed my then career from medical laboratory work to becoming a therapy provider. After completing my Master's degrees in Couples & Family Counseling, I have worked extensively with the court system, with families in need, and with individuals of all ages. I have worked in agencies and in private practice. I enjoy working with couples.
