After many years of wanting to goto therapy, I am thankful I was paired with Melissa. She is wonderful in offering me different ways to meet with her virtually. Melissa also has helped me talk through some of my most difficult challenges, and consistently shows that our discussions are a safe place to be vulnerable. She listens carefully and is able to challenge me in healthy ways. I appreciate all the work Melissa does and her ability to help me transform myself into someone I am proud to be.

Melissa is just what I needed to remind me of God’s love and sovereignty when I get lost in feelings of past hurts and anxieties. She helps show me the good things God has given me and how to live in a way that shows God’s love to others. Her heart for people is undeniable.
