Having earned an undergraduate degree in Human Development and Family Studies and Psychology and a graduate degree in Marriage and Family Therapy, Melissa looks forward to bringing her experience working with adolescents within group home and other settings as well as her therapist intern experience into her continued work as a pre-licensed therapist at Adulteen Counseling.
​
Melissa is passionate about people and values creating a safe and comforting environment in her work. She believes the therapist and client relationship begins with developing an authentic connection. Knowing that people have a need to be heard, Melissa strongly values being a listening ear for her clients. Overall, Melissa hopes to apply a systemic view and lens to the therapy room to offer her clients different approaches and perspectives to consider.
​
A few activities that Melissa enjoys include playing her guitar, listening to music, playing video games, cooking, baking, and engaging in outdoor activities. Melissa is also a huge believer that where there is good food, there is a good time!
