Great to meet you!

I’m Melisa, and I enjoy connecting with people. I received my Master of Arts in Biblical Counseling from Dallas Theological Seminary. That doesn’t mean I’ve got to incorporate the Bible into sessions, it does mean that I can. My goal is to help you become the best you, that you can be. I’m a person-centered therapist meaning I believe you have some idea of where you’d like to go and I’m just a GPS that gives you a number of routes to reach your destination. I believe we can get there, together.

My approach to therapy

I am a person-centered therapist, allowing clients to lead the way to their healing while equipping and encouraging them along the way.

What you can expect from me

Applicable techniques and skills, newfound confidence, growth, and healing.
