Personal Statement
Every person seeks to feel worthy and loved. It is our human instinct. However, most people fail to start within. They look outside of themselves for the validation and acceptance that says they are good enough. Until you learn how to give that to yourself, you will never believe it.
Melissa Counseling & Coaching focuses on each individual or relationship as a worthy and valuable contribution to the world. You matter and I am here to help you discover that, believe that and live that. I specialize in depression, anxiety, relationship challenges, career and transitions (divorce, grief, job loss, etc.).
My style is direct and collaborative. I focus on four areas that can be used for change: thoughts, feelings, physiology and behavior. I integrate counseling with coaching in order to explore and then put into action what’s discovered. One without the other is only half of the picture.
