The ideal client coming to Melody’s practice will be a First Responder or family member, medical professionals or one experiences the effects of trauma exposures, compassion fatigue, or high performance stress. With Melody's history and experiences with individual and group peer support, critical incident stress management and physical health experiential tools, Melody will work with the client to explore and unpack the root cause for presenting symptoms and struggles. She will guide the client with open conversation, safe exploration, educational tools and assignments to offer stability, growth and success. Melody will use her unique background and education to work with the client as a whole person, knowing that mental and physical wellness go hand in hand. She will guide and assist clients with recognizing pitfalls and triggers that create stress reactions in the body. Stress reactions that harbor high cortisol levels, disrupt sleep cycles and enhance the need for risk taking behavior.

I understand the unique challenges that come with serving others. I work with first responders, medical professionals, and their families, as well as anyone navigating the impact of trauma exposure, compassion fatigue, or high-performance stress. Drawing on my experience in peer support, critical incident stress management, and health-focused practices, I help clients uncover the root causes of their struggles and symptoms. Together, we’ll explore these challenges in a safe, open, and supportive space, using conversation, education, and practical tools to create meaningful change.
