Hi there, I'm Melanie!
I have been an LMFT since 2015, serving military, first responders, and individuals with trauma-related issues. I serve as an Ordained Christian Law Enforcement Chaplain, helping those experiencing their worst days. I also serve on my church's Worship team. I have a servant's heart with genuine care for people.
My focus
My Christian faith gives me a viewpoint beyond what the world throws at us. I meet clients where they are and help them seek who they want to be. I provide a safe space for honest dialogue without shame or condemnation. The therapeutic relationship is powerful and can lead to meaningful outcomes toward your desired goals.
My approach
As a Marriage and Family Therapist, I work with issues of Depression, Anxiety, Substance Abuse, Domestic Violence, Traumatic Brain Injury, and Trauma. I have specialized in Physical Injuries, Chronic Medical challenges, and Caregiver support. I have over 30 years of experience as an Occupational Therapist. I utilize EMDR for trauma processing.
