About

Thank you for sharing information about yourself. I'm so happy that you reached out for help. I'm glad that you have been paired with me! Let me first share a little about myself.

My name is Melva. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, wife, mother, and a multi-pet owner. It is my goal to work with each and every client on their own personal journey of self discovery. My counseling style is pretty laid back yet professional. I have been described as supportive, caring, and compassionate, with a pretty good sense of humor. I like to focus on identifying your strengths and helping you to maximize them to overcome your obstacles. I'm here to help you sort through the things that are difficult right now and offer you a safe place to be open and honest without fear of judgment. You have taken the first and most important step by reaching out for help.
