Hi, I'm Melissa!
Welcome to Solutions for Life Counseling Services!
I specialize in counseling, comprehensive psychological assessments, consultation, and training. After working as a School Psychologist in the public schools for 12 years, I am now accepting clients in private practice.
What sets me apart from others is how I deeply care about each case, how I seek to personalize my approach to each situation, how I navigate conflict, and how I make complex information meaningful and applicable to others. My mission and vision is to help transform the lives of youth and families by operating with compassion and integrity in providing professional educational and psychological services.
​
As a Licensed Educational Psychologist, I look forward to helping even more children, teenagers, college-aged students, adults, and families through educational, learning, and/or vocational challenges.
My Values & Approach
-
Integrity: I approach each client with an honest, sincere, and genuine spirit.
-
Compassion: I demonstrate compassion to each client no matter their reasons for seeking support.
-
Hope: I cultivate an attitude and environment of hope for each client. No situation is too dire. No skill is unattainable.
-
Change: I help each client identify their goals and encourage them that change is possible.
-
Solution-Focused: I maintain a solution-focused approach with an intent for positive outcomes and direct application.
​
My therapeutic approach is solution-focused and includes cognitive behavioral therapy techniques. I believe that there is always hope and that nothing is impossible.
