I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in the state of Florida, and earned my Master’s in Social Work for Florida Atlantic University. I have been working with children and adolescents in the fields of mental and behavioral health for 10 years. My experience includes working in school, home, and virtual settings. I started working in the mental health field, because I have a desire to help people. In school, I was placed in a school-based internship, and this taught me to appreciate the perspective that children bring. I feel that it is important to create a comfortable therapeutic environment for clients. Our sessions are a space for them to feel free to express themselves, and also work on becoming the best versions of themselves.

Hello, I’m Melissa. My path to becoming a therapist was paved by my deep belief in the human capacity for transformation. I understand that for many, life has felt like a constant balancing act—especially for those who grew up "walking on eggshells." I offer more than just a clinical conversation; I provide a dynamic, safe, and insight-driven space where I help you tackle the root causes of trauma and addiction. I believe that healing isn't just a possibility; it is a path I build alongside you through evidence-based strategies and genuine connection. With a background that spans mental health, family systems, and addiction recovery, I bring a unique multidisciplinary lens to our work. I am dually licensed as an LMHC and LMFT to address both your individual and relational challenges, and as a Master’s Level Certified Addiction Professional (MCAP), I specialize in recovery and relapse prevention. I am also nationally recognized for excellence in clinical mental health counseling as an NCC and CCMHC. I choose to move past the traditional, detached therapist-client dynamic to look at how your past influences your present, help you identify the survival skills that no longer serve you, and work with you to replace them with lasting resilience. Whether we meet in person in Florida or via a secure virtual platform, my goal is to help you reclaim your narrative and thrive.

I am an experienced therapist with over 10 years of clinical experience and several specialized certifications that I integrate into my practice to find the most effective treatment approach for each client. I believe therapy should honor each person’s uniqueness, values, and life story. Life can sometimes feel overwhelming, and you may feel stuck, unheard, or unsure of how to move forward. My goal is to create a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space where you can explore what you are going through and begin to reconnect with the life you want to live. Together, we will work toward finding the balance, clarity, and emotional strength you are looking for. You may be struggling with depression, anxiety, grief, relationship challenges, or a difficult life transition. Perhaps a recent crisis has left you feeling lost or disconnected. Therapy can help you regain direction, rebuild confidence, and reconnect with your inner strengths. With more than a decade of counseling experience, I deeply value listening to your unique needs and helping you discover meaningful solutions that align with your goals. My aim is to support you in becoming the best version of yourself and to help you create lasting change using evidence-based approaches that are both effective and sustainable. I offer individual, couples, and family therapy with flexible scheduling, including daytime, evening, and telehealth appointments. Sessions are available in English, Spanish, and Portuguese. Taking the first step toward therapy takes courage, and I am honored to walk alongside you in your healing journey.
