Meet Melissa
I have a passion for educating, supporting, and encouraging others on their journey. My career started as a High School Credit Recovery teacher, and I believe this is when I developed a passion for educating, serving, and advocating for individuals that are struggling or feel separate in some way from their peers and community. Throughout my career as an educator, I served individuals from diverse cultural, socio-economic, and age groups. I gained an appreciation for diversity and a desire to understand and accept the perspectives and lived experiences of others.
I have had many ups and downs, achievements, triumphs, and opportunities for learning. I have experienced hardships, trauma, and even rock-bottom on more than one occasion. I am a believer that wisdom and compassion come to us through our lived experiences. I have been fortunate to experience difficult moments and rise above them with the support of professionals, my family, loved ones, and my own Life Coach who has helped me to get into alignment and live my life to the fullest. This enables me to empathize, support, and coach you along your journey.

Student Advocacy
A student advocate plays a critical role in supporting students and families as they navigate the ins and outs of education, especially those students with additional challenges, such as mental or intellectual disabilities and behavioral challenges.

With Melissa’s support, students and families gain confidence and empowerment, allowing them to focus on achieving their goals and reaching their full potential. Ultimately, creating a nurturing environment that fosters student success inside and outside the classroom.
Adolescent, Teen, & Young Adult Coaching
Adolescent and young adult life coaching services are designed to meet the unique needs of this vibrant, often challenging stage of life.
Melissa’s empathy, patience, and understanding of this age group of the population allow her to truly connect with clients. This connection is crucial for establishing a safe and supportive environment where young individuals feel comfortable sharing their thoughts, concerns, and aspirations.
The value of these sessions goes beyond standard advice—coaching focuses on nurturing self-awareness and personal growth, enabling adolescents and young adults to lead more fulfilling lives.
Relationship & Intimacy Coaching
Relationship and Intimacy coaching can be a transformative experience for individuals looking to enhance their personal connections and create healthier dynamics.
Changes in relationship dynamics, such as divorce, separation, or previous trauma, can significantly impact how individuals perceive and approach interpersonal connections, communication, and physical intimacy.
These experiences often lead to feelings of uncertainty, making it challenging to navigate new connections or even maintain existing ones.
You deserve to express yourself freely and safely while building meaningful connections.
