Hi there, I'm Melinda!
I have a passion for helping others in need. Ever since I was in the 8th grade and heard a class presentation about this career, I knew I wanted to do something in the mental health field. I have been privileged to have worked in various mental health settings such as schools, mental health facilities, my clients' homes, and private practice.
My focus
My ideal client is open to change and willing to do the work it takes to see growth. I work with anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, postpartum and perinatal mental health, military members and veterans, and children. My goal is to meet each client where they are and support them through the change process.
My approach
CBT is one of my favorite approaches to working with depression and anxiety because I feel it is clear to understand and empowering. When working with trauma/PTSD, I like to use CPT because it is straightforward and has proven effective. I also want to use a mix of different modalities depending on the client's style and needs.
