I work in a mental health clinic focused on children and their families. My main focus in working with the child is meeting them where they are at in development and learning about their experience. I also strive to bring in the parents and family to share the experience together.

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.
