Hello, I’m Melissa.
As a Personal Life Coach, I help individuals navigate life’s transitions with clarity, confidence, and purpose. My journey in supporting others began with my undergraduate degree in Psychology from Grand Canyon University, followed by a Master’s in Psychology with an emphasis in Family Psychology from Capella University. I chose to focus on Family Psychology after working with children in both residential and hospital settings. I witnessed the impact of family dynamics on the children. This observation and understanding created in me a passion to help families become more healthy, so they can pass on healthy relationships to their children, and their children.
For several years, I served as a family therapist at a residential facility for adolescent boys. That experience deepened my understanding of the challenges families face and the resilience people possess when given the right support. When the facility closed, I made the intentional decision to pivot from clinical counseling to life coaching—a move that allows me to work with clients in a more forward-focused, goal-oriented way.
I am currently working toward certification through the International Coaching Federation (ICF), adhering to the highest standards of coaching excellence.
