Hi, I'm Melissa, and I'm an LPC with 14+ years of experience in the mental health field, currently living and practicing in Southwest Virginia. My background includes crisis intervention, stabilization, and long-term support for those experiencing depression, anxiety, trauma, grief and loss, mood and personality disorders, psychosis, addiction, and relationship issues. I strive to help clients better understand themselves, process where they have been, and move forward with a better quality of life. 

As a lover of stories, I incorporate elements of literature into my practice and encourage you to tell me your story in your own words. My approach is dialectical, direct, and solution-focused to best help you identify what you'd like to explore. I incorporate elements of CBT, DBT, and mindfulness so you can gain insight and support your mental health. 

Whether you're navigating depression or anxiety, processing grief, coping with work and relationship challenges, or simply seeking someone to listen and provide thoughtful feedback, I invite you to join me. Together, we can embark on a journey to "sit crooked and talk straight," exploring whatever is weighing most heavily on your heart and mind.
