Meeting your needs are essential to me. I have a variety of tool kits: cognitive behavior therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and personality disorders training. I enjoy helping parents find solutions to difficult situations. I enjoy helping those with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, Mood Disorder, Anxiety Disorder, and Depression. I can provide psycho-diagnostic assessments for children and adults. I use strategies such as applied behavior management, using self monitoring skills, and coping skills.

Have you ever felt like you needed a safe place to land & genuinely let your guard down? A place where you can breathe, relax, regroup, & refresh so you can get back out there & face the day? Melissa is available for in-person and telehealth appointments and is accepting new clients.

I have 20+ years of experience working in psychiatric hospitals, medical facilities, community health centers, pediatric clinics, schools, and residential treatment centers. I offered many years to working with children, adolescents, parents, and families through child protective services, rape crisis centers, shelters, neighborhood centers, and adoption centers. I am experienced in the diagnosis and treatment of disorders including PTSD, Depression, Trauma, Anxiety, & Psychosis including the management of other symptoms that stem from family/ relationship conflict, social difficulties, poor school performance, and violence/ abuse.

I look forward to sharing what I have learned from working with my clients for over 20 years and in my own personal life with you. I am committed to assisting you with your individualized goals to help improve whatever situation you may find yourself in. Whether you are suffering from anxiety , depression or are simply struggling to find a better way to manage life's daily stressors, I can help you tailor a plan that is exclusive to you. A plan that will support you in steering your circumstance in a more favorable direction.

Sometimes dealing with life's problems can feel overwhelming. Seeking help can feel difficult too. Personally, I take an integrative approach. We would look at all the factors in your life, your history, your health, how you’ve been coping or dealing with your situation, and what you would hope to accomplish, i.e. how would you like things to better. Trained heavily in cognitive behavioral therapy, it is a dominant model in my work, which on a simple level means we’ll look at your thoughts and feelings and how those may be impacting your behavior.

My goal is to help my clients learn about themselves and their loved ones. We are all in relationships , so how do we get what we need from these relationships while giving others what they need as well? My goal is to help with this complex balancing act. Life transitions make balance difficult. So whether you are dealing with a new marriage/baby, an empty nest, marriage difficulties, job loss, grief or any number of these transitions, it is my goal to help my clients through these transitions with empathy, caring and common sense strategies from many theoretical perspectives.
