Hello and congratulations on taking the first step towards improving your life! It can be unnerving to reach out to a stranger for assistance, knowing you may feel vulnerable in the process. I understand that! It is my goal to create a safe and supportive place for you to express your thoughts and feelings, and where we can work together to assist you in reaching your goals.
I have over eighteen years experience working with people who are concerned about a variety of issues including depression, anxiety, Bipolar Disorder, relationship issues, trauma and abuse issues, self-esteem issues, boundary issues, religious and crisis-of-faith issues and numerous other concerns. I have a Bachelor’s degree from Cedarville University and a Master’s degree from Liberty University. I am licensed in the State of Idaho. I tend to use Cognitive-Behavioral (CBT) and Acceptance & Commitment (ACT) counseling approaches most frequently, but I believe that no one counseling approach is appropriate for every person, so I will always strive to meet you where you are and assist you within a framework that best meets your needs. My style is warm, practical and down-to-earth.
If you feel I might be able to assist you in reaching your personal goals, please reach out! I look forward to the opportunity to get to know you and to provide support as you journey towards those goals!

Melissa is a godsend! I was beginning to give up on finding a therapist who heard me and understood where I was, and then I found Melissa. She is warm, caring and seeks to know you and understand what your challenges are in a way to help you move forward and overcome them. She provides not only therapeutic wisdom but also the encouragement to continue and move forward in the process. She is personable and real, making the online experience feel warm and accepting. I have confidence in working with her I will continue to grow and meet my goals. I am grateful to be working with her!

Melissa is awesome. She checks in on me and let's me know she is always there. She listens and understands what my stressors are and gives me a better understanding of my own thoughts. I'm glad she is in my corner!
