About Melissa
I am passionate about people, and I value creating a safe and comforting environment in my work. I believe the therapist and client relationship begins with developing an authentic connection. Knowing that people have a need to be heard, I strongly value being a listening ear for my clients. Feeling called by the Lord to serve in the Wausau area, I am excited to apply a systemic view and lens to the therapy room to offer my clients different approaches and perspectives to consider.
A few activities that I enjoy include playing my guitar, listening to music, playing video games, cooking, baking, and engaging in outdoor activities. I am also a huge believer that where there is good food, there is a good time!
