Melissa is a licensed independent clinical social worker specializing in supporting clients who seek therapy to enhance their mood, work performance, and relationships. Adopting a strengths-based approach, she empowers clients to better manage challenges related to depression, anxiety, trauma, stress, and life adjustments.

Melissa integrates a variety of therapeutic techniques, including cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT).

Melissa is particularly attuned to the needs of male clients, recognizing the unique societal pressures that often inhibit men from expressing vulnerability. She creates a safe space for men to explore their experiences with anxiety, trauma, and the impact of traditional masculinity on their mental health. By encouraging open dialogue, she helps dismantle stigma and promotes healthier coping strategies.

Melissa sees clients exclusively via telehealth.
