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, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
