Meet Melissa

Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC)

Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC)

I believe that most people come to counseling after many attempts to solve their problem other ways, but have found that those efforts have not led to an outcome that fits, or has been able to last over time. 

​

Counseling provides an opportunity to explore aspects of yourself and your relationships in ways that lead to increased awareness of the principles that guide you, or the ones you may have lost track of, leading to greater fulfillment and meaning in relationships and various aspects of life. 

​

My specialties include couple, marital and premarital therapy along with family work employing family systems approaches, incorporating attachment needs. 

​

In addition, I specialize in working with adults and teens with a variety of needs.

I would like to meet you, and together, work toward the kind of relationships and life that will feel fulfilling and help you thrive.
