About

Emotional healing and self-improvement can seem hopeless, especially during times of stress and uncertainty. Often times, individuals allow themselves to believe suffering is easier than seeking help. If you are here, your have taken a step in the right direction. My name is Melissa and I am here to help. My counseling style is nonjudgmental, compassionate, and direct yet non-confrontational. I utilize various treatment modalities including but not limited to Person-Centered, Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and mindfulness. I offer a variety of available times for sessions in order to accommodate your schedule.

I graduated in 1996 with a Master's Degree in Counseling. That same year, I became a Certified Rehabilitation Counselor. Two years later, I earned my license in clinical mental health license (previously known as Licensed Professional Counselor or LPC, now known as Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor. I also earned my license in clinical addictions as well. Since 1996, I have assisted individuals improve their various mental health and substance use disorders. I have also assisted with vocational and career counseling.

Congratulations on taking the steps to a happier and self-actualized life. I look forward to working with you.
