Introduction

Hi, I’m Melissa. I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate who is passionate about helping women and couples navigate life, relationships, and the seasons that can leave us feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure of what comes next. My Christian faith deeply shapes my worldview and the compassion I bring into the counseling room. For clients who desire it, I’m happy to integrate faith and Scripture into our work together. At the same time, counseling is your space—your story, values, comfort level, and goals will always be respected. For more than a decade, I’ve served in ministry alongside my husband, who is a pastor. That experience has given me a unique understanding of the pressures that can come with ministry, marriage, family, relationships, and caring for others while trying not to lose yourself along the way. I have a particular heart for women in ministry and for couples who want to strengthen their relationship, communicate more effectively, and navigate difficult seasons together. Whether you’re facing anxiety, stress, burnout, life transitions, relationship struggles, or simply know that something needs to change, my goal is to offer a space where you can be honest, feel understood, gain practical tools, and move toward greater clarity and wholeness. You don’t have to have it all figured out to take the next step.
