My name is Melissa and I have been working with children and families for over 15 years. I enjoy working with the whole family system and seeing changes happen to make the family function better. I value being able to go with the child and family on a healing journey whether that is finding answers or just having a safe space to ask questions. I have always enjoyed working with children of all ages.
Outside of work, I enjoy spending my time with my own family and friends. I enjoy being outside, talking my dog for walks, reading, watching movies, traveling and going camping.
