Hello and thanks for stopping by. Sometimes when life's challenges arise, we can become sad, frustrated, and overwhelmed. Sometimes these difficulties are new to us; at other times we continue to struggle with issues that have followed us from long ago. Whatever the case, I am eager to partner with you to overcome obstacles, and I listen with respect and without judgment. It may be that you also need a respectful nudge, and no topic is considered out-of-bounds during our time together. I want you to live a better life, and I am always honored when a client reaches out to share their journey toward greater peace and well-being.

From the outside looking in, people see someone who “has it together.” Perhaps this is related to your family, job, marriage or community. From the inside looking out, you see a world full of pressures, expectations and a need to cultivate happiness for those in your life, sometimes at the expense of your own sanity. I often hear from clients that they feel “stuck” in the same cycle of life and can’t seem to find satisfaction, despite having many of life’s “checkboxes” marked off. Experiences of chronic anxiety and worry are common though they keep moving through the motions of life.

Life is full of incredible moments but sometimes life can be messy too. Every role we take on can cause stress and overwhelm us. No matter how big or small your struggle feels, everyone can benefit from counseling. As your counselor, I will help you identify and meet your goals in a supportive environment. I strongly believe people have the tools they need within them. I am passionate about building a strong therapeutic relationship-providing a non-judgmental, compassionate, and empathetic ear to help navigate your thoughts, feelings, and beliefs so that you can find your inner light.

You are ready for a change. Maybe you can identify that change and maybe you can't. Perhaps you feel queasy when you think about that big presentation coming up or even when you think about going into the grocery store. Or maybe the communication and connection in your relationship is less than ideal or missing altogether. I offer a free 30 minute consultation to new clients to discuss what you are dealing with and how I can help you achieve your goals, even if you don't know exactly what those goals are yet. Now offering Neurofeedback/Brain Training, a non-invasive treatment option that can greatly speed up the therapy process.

I seek to provide a safe, supportive and affirming environment for all genders, races, religions, and cultures. Being passionate about working with individuals, couples or families in life stage transitions, or just seeking change. My approach to therapy is a collaborative, strengths-based, Solution Focused perspective and I deliver it in an empathetic, non-confrontational, and non-judgmental manner. Meeting my clients where they are and helping them get through life's journey creating healthier relationships.

Living a life with anxiety and depression can seem overwhelming and hopeless. It is hard for you to envision a bright future. These feelings have started to affect your normal day to day life in school, work, or even your relationships. The feelings of agitation, tension, worthlessness, and guilt prohibit you from moving forward, accomplishing tasks, and being at your best. Often, you may even wonder if you will ever feel yourself again, or if this path of darkness is your new normal.

Thank you for taking the first step in seeking help and achieving your best self! My goal is to provide you with a safe and non-judgmental space, guiding you in discovering the very strengths that you already possess. Life presents challenges and you may be dealing with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, relationship problems, school/employment struggles, parenting issues, or are simply going through life adjustment difficulties.

I have a passion for supporting people to overcome life challenges, create the life they want and reach your goals. I take an integrative and holistic approach to support people to heal, manage challenging emotions, lower stress and overwhelm, build resiliency, overcome negative thinking, rediscover themselves through life transitions and live with more passion and joy. I also support people to build confidence, self-compassion and self-esteem while creating a safe space to be you. I truly look forward to working with you on your journey of self-discovery.

I work with clients experiencing various symptoms related to: Anxiety, Body Image Issues, Depression, Divorce/Separation, Life Transitions, Low Self-esteem, Relationship Issues, Stress, and Trauma.

***Not currently accepting new clients*** At times, the journey of life can be challenging. We all experience joys and turmoil along the way.

**Thank you so much for your interest. My practice and wait list are currently full and I am unable to accept new patients at this time. I appreciate your understanding.** We are sometimes presented with challenges that can leave us feeling overwhelmed, hopeless, or just not quite like ourselves. As a therapist, my greatest passion is providing a fresh perspective and working with clients as they learn to navigate these difficulties and regain a sense of empowerment and joy.

We were not made to suffer, struggle, or change alone. Sometimes we need a push, a shove, or a gentle helping hand. Melissa sees the counseling process as an opportunity to increase self-awareness and build resilience together. Melissa enjoys helping to empower her clients by walking beside them working towards a common goal. Melissa has worked extensively with complex mental health and substance use cases, both as a counselor and program clinical supervisor. Melissa works with adolescents (14 and above) and adults of all ages.

I enjoy working with adults that have unresolved issues that often stem from their childhood experiences. Many of us often feel stuck or on repeat, often making the same "mistakes" or choices that leave us feeling empty and unfulfilled. Gaining insight to past experiences and working through past traumas can provide us with emotional freedom and clarity, which can lead us to living a more fulfilling life.

At Cobblestone Counseling we understand the challenges of depression and anxiety and daily life adjustments. We work with adult individuals and couples to help manage the stress that anxiety, depression, change and stress creates.

Although you may feel alone in your problem, I guarantee that you are not, and will help you develop individual and relationship skills to overcome your problem(s). I am an avid proponent of examining the systemic nature of problems, which includes taking inventory of the mental, physical, spiritual, societal, and relational aspects that may be effecting you. I will help you deconstruct your life and experiences, and help you reconstruct a healthy psychological paradigm that heals you and brings meaning and purpose to your life. You will ultimately feel more alive, genuine, and hopeful about yourself and your future.

Life is not always easy. Sometimes life is challenging because of circumstances related to our actions; sometimes these challenges are a result of circumstances beyond our control. Regardless, these circumstances do not define us. It is, instead, our response to these circumstances that determines our course. My passion is working with individuals and families who are facing these storms. I love walking with my clients through these storms and into a bright new day. It is my hope that each of my clients will learn not just to weather and survive these storms but rather to conquer and overcome them.

I have worked in a variety of settings: prison, inpatient, day treatment, outpatient and private practice. These experiences have made me a well rounded clinician. I offer my clients a safe place to explore often painful issues in a non-judgemental atmosphere. My ideal client is one who has specific goals in therapy and is willing to address them through work in session and exercises they can work on outside of session.
