It’s easy to see why people who have experienced trauma are drawn to Melissa. Simply put, she gets them. Melissa draws from her own life experiences and professional experiences working at in-patient adolescent programs, behavior hospitals, and outpatient programs before starting her practice.

Melissa is most comfortable sitting with people as they explore their deepest pains. Her presence creates a sense of safety and gives her patients a space to heal. And after nearly two decades of experience working with her own clients, she scaled down her caseload to spend more time building trauma confidence in therapists and organizations.

Melissa is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor who has been practicing since 2006. She is certified in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders (PMAD), and Gottman.
