I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and Nationally Certified Counselor with over eight years of clinical experience providing therapy to adults, couples, teens, families, and individuals navigating addiction. My work is grounded in a deeply compassionate, trauma-informed approach, supporting individuals who are facing depression, anxiety, burnout, relationship challenges, and both personal/current and intergenerational trauma. Drawing from Emotion Focused therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, psychodynamic, somatic and integrative modalities, I tailor treatment to honor each individual’s unique story while fostering insight, emotional regulation, and lasting change.  My clinical background includes private practice as well as extensive work within the criminal justice system, which has strengthened my ability to work with complex trauma, systemic stressors, and resilience in the face of adversity. I strive to create a safe collaborative therapeutic space where healing, self-understanding, and growth can unfold at a pace that feels respectful and empowering, I welcome the opportunity to support you as you take the next step toward meaningful change.

I am a graduate counseling student completing my Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Walden University. I’ve always been drawn to helping people and supporting them as a whole. That passion has taken different forms throughout my life and work.

I shape each session around who you are and what you need. I bring a holistic, wellness-focusedlens to our work together and draw from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to explore the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. I believe mental health is deeply connected to our overall well-being.

I have a special passion for working with children, teens, and young adults navigating anxiety, depression, grief, and life transitions. No matter who you are or what brings you to counseling, I want you to feel heard, supported, and comfortable being yourself without judgment.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor with five years of clinical experience, Melody is dedicated to helping individuals navigate life’s challenges with compassion, authenticity, and evidence-based care. She believes that healing begins with a strong therapeutic relationship and strives to create a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where clients feel comfortable exploring their experiences and working toward meaningful change.
Melody takes a collaborative, client-centered approach to counseling, recognizing that each person’s journey is unique. She works alongside clients to identify their strengths, develop effective coping strategies, and overcome obstacles in ways that align with their personal goals and values. Her ability to build genuine connections and partner with clients in problem-solving is central to her therapeutic approach.
Melody is passionate about empowering clients to build resilience, improve emotional well-being, and create lasting positive change. She considers it a privilege to walk alongside individuals as they move toward healing, growth, and a more fulfilling life.

I earned my Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Regis University and have worked in the mental health field for several years across a variety of settings. My experience includes supporting children, adolescents, and families in school-based counseling, outpatient therapy, and inpatient psychiatric care.

I take a trauma-informed, person-centered approach to therapy, believing that healing begins within a safe, accepting, and authentic therapeutic relationship. I view each person through an attachment, developmental, and systems-based lens, recognizing that our experiences, relationships, and environments all play an important role in shaping who we are. I draw from Child-Centered Play Therapy, Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and other evidence-based approaches, tailoring therapy to meet your unique needs and goals.

I believe in the healing power of play and love incorporating creativity, humor, and a little silliness into the therapy process whenever it fits your or your child’s needs. My hope is to create a space where you or your child feels seen, supported, and accepted exactly as you are—a place where healing, growth, and resilience can naturally unfold.

As a Licensed Professional Counseling intern, my goal is to support future clients by creating a safe, caring, and respectful space to work through life’s challenges. I believe when human beings feel heard and understood, they are empowered to pursue the meaningful changes they seek in their lives.
I am particularly drawn to supporting veterans and first responders. I recognize the unique challenges they face and the sacrifices their families make in the service of others. My commitment is driven by a desire to help support them with the understanding and tools they need to navigate their experiences, heal from trauma, and enhance their overall well-being. My motivation stems from a deep commitment to supporting individuals as they navigate life’s challenges and to helping them find effective strategies to process their experiences and move forward.
In my leisure time, I enjoy live music, exploring the mountains with my family, hiking, fly fishing, mountain biking, and archery.

As an LPCC, my goal is to provide my clients with trust, honesty, autonomy, and the safety to express themselves in session. I work towards and celebrate incremental change and like to use a collaborative approach with clients to develop goals for therapy and potential challenges along the way.
As a clinician, I think a lot about thinking. I focus on how we conceive of ourselves and the world around us, how this thinking affects our daily lives and relationships, and what we can do to change the way we think. In addition to CBT, I also utilize different forms of Narrative Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and mindfulness techniques to provide my clients with different tools they can use outside of our sessions.
In the past I have treated clients with depression, anxiety, substance use issues, grief, and compulsive behaviors, and others just having a hard time adjusting to new life circumstances. My goal is to always treat clients with compassion, dignity and understanding while firmly believing in their ability to make changes on their own.
When I’m not at work you can find me listening to or playing music, playing in the mountains, or spending time with my dog.

As a school counselor and LPCC I bring over 10 years of experience working with children and adolescents. My career began in the classroom as an elementary school teacher, where I quickly recognized the growing mental health needs of young people. This realization led me to pursue my master’s degree in counseling so I could more directly support students’ emotional and psychological well-being.

Over the past five years, I have worked closely with high school students, helping them navigate trauma, anxiety, depression, academic stress, family challenges, and the many pressures that come with adolescence. I understand how overwhelming these years can feel and strive to create a safe, supportive environment where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered. In private practice, I am excited to offer more individualized, one-on-one support through a person-centered lens.

I believe each person is the expert of their own story, and I am committed to walking alongside them as they build resilience, develop coping skills, and more toward meaningful growth and lasting change.
