“I’ve been seeing Melissa for over a year now, and one thing I respect and admire about her is that she is not afraid to hold me accountable. I’ve been with many therapists that aren’t necessarily helpful in personal growth, but with Melissa I find myself considering situations from a different perspective. I’ve found that since seeing Melissa, I’ve grown as a person and learned skills such a mindfulness and taking a step back from certain situations. She has also been flexible with my schedule, which I definitely appreciate!”

I’ve been seeing Melissa for over a year now, and she truly has helped me stay grounded throughout my healing journey. She hears me out, but still helps me hold myself accountable and see things in different ways that I probably wouldn't think to consider. She’s been patient and flexible with scheduling appointments and over all I recommend her to anyone who is looking for a safe space to explore issues they may be having.

I thought our visits went pretty well . We at first had marriage counseling and then after we didn’t need that anymore it turned into one on one . It took me a bit to get comfortable but Melissa showed patience and is always nice . I am happy that Melissa is my therapist . She’s very good at what she does . She will listen and give out good advice . I feel like I changed for the better since I been going to therapy with Melissa .

I have been seeing Melissa for just over 5 years now and while I have tried therapy in the past she has been the easiest person I have found to talk to. I appreciate her feedback and insight. She is a compassionate listener and has helped me through many big life events. Outside of our session time she has sent me exercises for when a thought overwhelms me to try and rework how I think about things. I always feel like I am in good hands and definitely recommend her!

Our experience with Melissa has been a lifesaver. She is very attentive and patient; but gets to heart of the matter. Her guidance has been extremely helpful navigating uncharted waters with my mother and dealing with her evechanging issues. Melissa stays the course with her patients best interest in mind.

I highly recommend Melissa. My mom has been talking to Melissa close to 3 years now, she help my mom in so many ways. Mom needed support as she was taking care of dad while sick, and then when he passed.
Melissa - with mom’s permission, keeps the family updated and connected with concerns. Mom looks forward to speaking with Melissa weekly.

I’ve worked with Melissa for a few years, including returning after a short break because I recognized how valuable our sessions were for me. She is an incredibly attentive and insightful therapist who creates a safe, non-judgmental environment. She has taught me helpful tools and strategies that I can actually apply in my daily life. I’ve experienced meaningful personal growth through our work together and highly recommend her services.
