Melissa is a compassionate and insightful therapist based in Punta Gorda, Florida. For over 17 years, she has had the privilege of serving individuals, couples, and families in Southwest Florida, helping them navigate life’s complexities with care and intention.
Melissa is not your “cookie-cutter” therapist. She brings warmth, authenticity, and a non-judgmental presence to the therapy room. She believes deeply in the transformative power of the therapist-client relationship and views therapy as a shared, powerful experience that can create lasting, meaningful change.
Melissa's passion lies in understanding and supporting the full spectrum of human behavior, especially where traditional approaches may fall short. She specializes in working with survivors of sexual, physical, emotional, and psychological abuse, individuals with complex PTSD (C-PTSD), and those who’ve struggled to find healing in previous therapy experience
In addition to her clinical work, she is a proud Midwestern girl — Texas-born, Kansas-raised, and Minnesota-educated. She is a mom to two almost-high-school seniors (Class of 2026!), and has been happily married to her husband for over 20 years.
