She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness techniques, and family therapy to help clients better understand their thoughts, regulate emotions, and strengthen relationships. Her approach is collaborative and tailored, ensuring each client receives care that aligns with their goals and personal experiences. She also works with diverse populations, including individuals in adoption or foster care, those on the autism spectrum, and members of the LGBTQ+ community.

Her work emphasizes safety, structure, and empowerment as clients reintegrate into daily life. Outside of her clinical work, Melissa enjoys biking, hiking, and participating in book clubs. She also has a love for theater and live music, which enriches her appreciation for creativity and human connection. These personal interests help inform her warm, empathetic approach to therapy.
