About Melissa

Melissa earned her Master of Arts in Counseling and has built her practice on a foundation of evidence-based care, cultural responsiveness, and deep respect for each client's unique story. She works with adults, teens, and families across a wide range of concerns — including anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, substance use, and faith-based counseling.

Her approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in the belief that therapy should feel like a genuine partnership. Melissa draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, trauma-informed care, motivational interviewing, and mindfulness-based practices — always tailoring her methods to what works best for the individual in front of her.

Melissa serves clients in person in the Dexter and Pinckney area and via telehealth throughout Michigan. She is committed to reducing the stigma around mental health and making quality care accessible to everyone in her community. She welcomes clients from all backgrounds, identities, and walks of life.
