LMSW

Hello, my name is Melissa, and I am a Licensed Social Worker dedicated to providing services grounded in collaborative and compassionate care. I specialize in supporting individuals as they navigate periods of transition, emotional distress, and personal growth. With a strong background in crisis intervention and trauma-informed care, my approach is person-centered and paced to meet you where you are, fostering safety, autonomy, and self-awareness. My work is rooted in the belief that meaningful change begins with self-connection. Together, we will explore the internal and external factors influencing your well-being, including your relationships—with yourself and others. Whether you are facing acute stressors or long-standing patterns, I aim to guide you through self-discovery and process your experiences without judgment and reconnect with your innate strengths.

At the heart of my practice is the understanding that healing is not about fixing what is “broken,” but about realigning with you are. Therapy is a human-to-human process, and it would be an honor to walk alongside you in whatever chapter you are ready to begin. Together, passions, coping skills, and resilience can be positively explored.
