A note from Melissa
Thank you for considering me as your therapist. With over 10 years of counseling experience, I bring a warm, direct, person-centered approach to every client relationship. Real change happens within a trusting, genuine connection, and clients describe me as caring, calming, and easy to talk to. Whether you need help with anxiety, a relationship, or simply a supportive space to feel heard, I'm here to walk alongside you. I specialize in anxiety, relationships, family conflict, self-esteem, geriatric care, women's issues, and Christian counseling, using a flexible, integrative toolkit tailored to each client.
