About

Meet Melissa

With more than a decade of clinical experience (with a focus on family, parenting, and mental health) and four years of experience as an ADHD and executive functioning (EF) coach, Melissa is in a unique position to understand the connection between the two. She brings a wealth of evidence-based training and clinical expertise to her practice including specialized certifications in ADHD and Anxiety-Informed Coaching, and intensive training in both Motivational Interviewing and Dr. Ross Greene’s Collaborative and Proactive Solutions approach.

A dedicated advocate for those facing life's challenges, Melissa is deeply committed to empowering clients to tap into their own strengths and motivations as they work through personal, academic, social, and behavioral challenges. She has built meaningful, collaborative, trust-based relationships with individuals across all age groups. She creates and implements tailored goal-focused plans and works to refine habits and routines. With younger clients, she partners closely with families to develop strategies that foster meaningful growth and works with educational teams to develop effective IEPs and 504 plans.

Known for her warmth, empathy, and professional insight, Melissa has earned a reputation as a trusted and caring coach. Clients appreciate her steady support, deep understanding, and unwavering encouragement as they build the skills needed for greater independence.

Outside of her coaching work, Melissa enjoys spending time with her daughter adventuring (aerial, acro yoga, rock climbing, paddle boarding, boating, dancing, and traveling to Cirque du Soleil shows) or hanging out at home (reading books, watching movies, and crafting).

Meet Melissa

Thank you so much for your guidance as I developed new EF tools. Your creativity and encouragement have helped me gain confidence in myself and my abilities. This year has brought significant professional challenges—leadership changes, new direction, evolving processes, and an influx of new projects. I’m truly grateful for your support as I navigated all of it. Heading into the back-to-school season, I’m feeling confident and well-prepared.

This experience has truly been life-changing.

I think you were really helpful to me this semester. I definitely found the coaching helpful to me for staying on task and being more productive. It was a huge benefit and positive change.

My son really enjoys meeting with you. I think you are a safe haven for him to open up to! Thank you!

-Mom of a high school student

I want to thank you for all of your help, especially how you kept moving my son along and always encouraged him as we tried to figure out what was emotionally happening. He now has the skills he needs and is doing well psychologically, especially with the TMS and, of course, his own hard work. He was able to work through an occasional bump in the road and was very successful. He is so, justifiably proud.
