Hi. I am glad you stopped by my practice profile. I am interested in helping campus students, all ages and walks of life, resident or commuter, old or young navigate mental health challenges. I have one undergrad degree, two masters degrees and an additional 40 hrs of graduate counseling work. I know that academic life is tough, but it's worth the work. Sometimes one needs a counselor to get input on how to cope with perfectionism, grades, parents, solo living for the first time, relationsh...
In each person's life a little rain must fall. At times, however, it may feel as though you are ill equipped to weather the storm. Gaining new coping skills, strengthening self-esteem and adopting new behaviors are just some of the possible outcomes of successful counseling. I consider it an honor to hear your story and work with you towards change. Whether you are battling anxiety, low self-esteem, going through a transition such as a career change or are dealing with past wounds, my hope is t...

She knew at a young age people were "broken and felt helpless". Melvinik’s passion and mission is to inspire people and work with them to achieve their goals. "I ...

I have always been driven to listen, to understand and to help others. I know for many people, myself included, asking for help can be a scary and vulnerable thing to do. However, I believe seeking help demonstrates bravery. Vulnerability does not make us weak; in fact, it makes us strong and courageous. I believe everyone has their own story, path, and struggle; it is my desire to meet you where you are at and help you grow into the person you would be proud to be. It is common for us to acc...
Now accepting new clients in April 2025. I first received mental health counseling during my time at college. I was struggling with my own mental health issues, was referred to counseling by a mentor, and ended up having a life-changing experience that led me to pursue becoming a counselor myself. I believe college is a pivotal time, and a unique opportunity to unpack emotional baggage that may be holding you back. Are you stuck in anxiety, stress, low self-esteem, depression, addict...

Degrees and professional experience are important, but what's more important is finding the right fit for your counselor. I am a believer that a healthy counseling relationship is key to therapeutic progress. I believe that laughter can, at times, be an important part of progress and healing. People often think that counseling has to be stuffy or serious, but if that's not who you are, you may find it does not lead you to progress. I try to create a therapeutic space that allows people to share ...
