Hi there, I'm Melissa!
I'm a retired military veteran who raised four daughters and brings deep life experience to my work. I specialize in helping people take accountability for their choices and make meaningful changes. My style is direct, challenging, and empowering—I'll push you to think differently while supporting you every step of the way.
My focus
I work with clients managing stress, anxiety, panic attacks, anger, motivation, self-esteem, confidence, past substance use, and depressive symptoms. I'm ideal for people ready for a healthy challenge and willing to think about changing things to improve their quality of life.
My approach
I practice Reality Therapy, which sees current behavior as choices. While we can't control how we feel, we can control how we think and behave. I'll challenge you to examine the choices that help or hinder your ability to meet your needs and reach your goals. My approach is blunt but harmless, focused on empowering you to take control of your life.
