Melissa has over ten years of experience in completing comprehensive psychological evaluations for children, adolescents, and young adults. She developed a unique point of view on how schools, parents, and therapists can work most effectively together due to hands-on years of experience in both school systems and private practice. Each evaluation that Melissa completes is tailored to the unique referral questions to improve daily functioning and wellness. Melissa believes evaluations should be multifaceted to better understand one’s difficulties and strengths and identify evidence-based interventions and supports.
In therapy, Melissa works from a strengths-based and whole-child approach, emphasizing building resiliency through partnership and collaboration. Melissa informs her practice with cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), mindfulness practices, positive parenting strategies, and play-based techniques.
Outside of Three Oaks, Melissa enjoys spending time with her husband, two daughters, and two beagles. She enjoys cheering on the Boston Bruins, all things Taylor Swift, and drinking coffee.
