More about Melissa
- 11 years' experience
- Female
- LMHC
Life is filled with ebbs and flows of transitions and struggles. We are constantly evolving. Life can be both beautiful & messy and I'm humbled & honored to help you sort through it in individual and/or group counseling. Our minds & emotions uniquely shape our perception of reality. No two people have the same experience, and there is no such thing as a "one size fits all" treatment modality. Yet we can also learn & gain from others' perspectives and support. One thing all humans universally experience is the capacity for joy and pain. You are not alone!
I draw from an eclectic background of theoretical approaches, absorbing each day as a learning experience to more deeply understand human suffering and, more importantly, witness how resilient people can be. With 20+ years working in the helping profession, I've seen and heard a lot. I will listen without judgment to things that may be difficult to disclose.
Do you want to resolve issues rooted in past or present wounds & break patterns that are no longer serving you? You are worthy of the opportunity to slow down, be still, reflect on, & process your mental, emotional, physical, & spiritual concerns. Now is the time to celebrate your potential. You've got this! You are not alone.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
