Get to Know Melissa
Who I work with: Adolescents & Adults
I believe that everyone is on their own unique path and at times this path can become stressful and overwhelming. My goal is to help you grow and to empower you so you will be better able to handle life’s challenges as they come.
I believe that building rapport with clients is of the utmost importance. I aim to foster a safe, non-judgmental, and supportive environment. While my approach is tailored to meet the needs of my clients, it is always a collaborative process. My techniques pull from person-centered, strengths-based, CBT, and DBT modalities. I strive to meet you where you are and I am always ready to listen & discuss new or ongoing challenges that arise.
I have experience working with individuals who are experiencing anxiety, depression, life transitions, self-esteem, and/or autism spectrum disorders.
LET’S EMBARK ON A PATH FORWARD - TOGETHER!
More about me:
I consider myself quite the bookworm! Nothing like a good book to end the day. When not reading, you’ll usually find me listening to music. My friends and family are important to me, and I enjoy spending time with them. Lastly, I take pride in my role as plant mom to my many houseplants.
