Melisa has helped me with many of the challenges that I have been having throughout my life. She met me where I was at which has allowed for me to focus on specific things that I needed to work on, and ultimately allowing me to make the changes that I needed to. She is a great part of my support system and very knowledgeable. I can’t thank her enough for everything she has done for me so far it really means a lot to have someone helping you in your corner throughout this wild adventure we call life!!
