About Melissa

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Louisiana with experience supporting individuals and families in clinical, community-based, educational, and telehealth settings. I work with preteens and adults experiencing concerns such as anxiety, low self-esteem, trauma, relationship difficulties, parenting challenges, stress, and major life transitions.

My counseling style is warm, compassionate, and collaborative. I strive to create a safe, supportive environment where you feel respected, heard, and comfortable being yourself. My primary approach is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which helps you understand how your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are connected. I also incorporate trauma-informed techniques and practical coping strategies based on your individual needs and goals.

Seeking counseling takes courage, and you do not have to face life’s challenges alone. We will work together to recognize your strengths, develop healthier coping skills, and create meaningful, lasting change. I look forward to supporting you on your journey toward healing and personal growth.
