Hi, I’m Melissa!

Kids:
I work with children ages 7+. Although I specialize in making connections with clients through video and phone, please take into consideration the child’s ability to sit in one place for 30-60 minutes, and in an environment like home where they may be easily distracted. Please reach out if you have any questions regarding children!

Teens:
Our teenage years can be some of the most difficult of our lives – but also the most rewarding. Beginning therapy as a teenager is extremely beneficial, as you can learn emotional regulation, coping skills, and —- while your brain is still developing, and you are searching for your sense of self.

My goal is to become a stable adult that can assist your teenager in working through life stressors, anxiety, depression, and other intense emotions in a healthy way. I also strive to help teenagers connect and communicate with their parents and remove any barriers that — this.
I worked in both middle and high schools and can confidently say that I “speak” teen.

Adults:
I offer virtual (video) and telehealth therapy (ex: video/phone). I integrate the most current research-based techniques. In my formal education, I concentrated on how to best approach client’s with a trauma-informed lens. I approach from a modern perspective – My goal is to make you feel supported in a non-judgmental and welcoming environment.
I can guide you into understanding how you respond to situations the way you do, and work to help you have control over your future.
