Melissa's Story
Transitioning from an art history major to a career in the mental health field often involves a blend of passion for understanding human behavior and a desire to support others. Initially drawn to art history for its exploration of cultural narratives and human expression, she began to recognize the profound impact mental health has on creativity and personal expression. This realization prompted her to volunteer at local mental health organizations, where she witnessed the transformative power of support and community. Inspired to deepen her knowledge, she pursued coursework in counseling, integrating her appreciation for art into therapeutic practices, such as art-assisted therapy. This journey has allowed her to merge her love for art with her commitment to fostering mental well-being, leading to a fulfilling career that supports individuals in navigating their emotions and experiences through creativity.
While Melissa's clinical interests are primarily in depression, anxiety, and adjusting to the different seasons of our lives, she particularly enjoys working with clients who are motivated to understand themselves better and are open to exploring their mental health and vocational challenges. Typically, these individuals are seeking holistic support, whether they are navigating life transitions, managing anxiety or depression, or looking to align their careers with their personal values and strengths. She is particularly drawn to those who value collaboration, as she believes that a strong therapeutic alliance fosters growth and empowerment. Her ideal clients are ready to engage in the process, embrace vulnerability, and take proactive steps toward improving their well-being and achieving their goals.
