Hi, I'm Melanie! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with a Master of Science degree in Educational Psychology from the University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee. I work with adolescents (12+) and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, life transitions, relationship challenges, and other everyday stressors. I have extensive experience working with LGBTQ+ individuals, and I am committed to creating an affirming, welcoming environment for everyone.
I believe therapy works best when you feel comfortable with your therapist. My style is warm, collaborative, and strengths-based. I tailor each session to your unique needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach. I primarily use Person-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help you better understand your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors while building practical skills you can use in everyday life.
My goal is to provide a safe, supportive, nonjudgmental space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to make meaningful changes. Together, we'll identify your goals, hone in on your strengths, and develop strategies you can use.
