Hello! I’m Melissa.
I am a certified, trauma-informed Life Coach on the Reflections team. I hold a Psychology Certification and am accredited through the American Association of Christian Counselors (AACC). I am also a Board Certified Master Life Coach through Light University and the AACC.
My training includes:
• Certified Mental Health Coach
• Youth Mental Health Certification
• Gottman Level 1 & Level 2 (Couples & Relationship Coaching)
• Certified Enneagram & Marriage Coach
• Certified Kid Coach
• Certified in Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) work
I absolutely love working with individuals, couples, and children and consider it a privilege to hear their stories, hearts, and hopes.
Have you ever felt that tug — the overwhelming sense that it’s time for a change?
To set forward-focused goals?
To heal old wounds?
To begin living intentionally instead of reactively?
Becoming our best self is a marathon, not a sprint. My greatest honor is sitting with my clients and offering a safe place to explore triggers, struggles, wounds, and patterns that have held them back.
You were created with purpose and passion, and I would love to walk alongside you as you discover what that truly means for your life.
So many people are stuck in survival mode, weighed down by old lies, shame, guilt, and pain. My desire isn’t just to help you survive, but to help you thrive. I provide practical tools to move forward and love asking questions that spark transformation, such as:
“Where do you see yourself a year from now?”
and
“What is your greatest fear in the situation you’re working through?”
Together, we can uncover the answers and build the path forward. Life brings many giants, but you are capable of defeating every single one, just as David did with one stone, faith, and God’s leading.
Outside of coaching, I’m a mom of four (ages 15–28) who keep me wonderfully busy. Faith, fitness, and nutrition are integral parts of who I am. I’m also passionate about women’s self-defense and serve as an instructor on a local team.
God has given me a deep passion for people. I’ve walked through my own wounds and healing, and it’s my mission to help you discover your worth, reclaim your identity, and break free from any label placed on you by others.
One of the core themes in my coaching is boundaries. I often say:
“Boundaries are a foreign language most of us were never taught.
Learning to speak this language fluently is essential to building a healthy life.”
For many, boundaries feel like conflict, loss, rejection, or abandonment, but together, we can transform that fear into empowerment.
It brings me such joy to watch clients rediscover their authentic selves and truly fall in love with who they are. I work with individuals, couples, and children, offering sessions in person, on Zoom, FaceTime, or by phone...whatever best supports your life and schedule.
“The process is the most beautiful part.”
I look forward to meeting you and walking with you on your journey toward healing, clarity, and wholeness.

I love sharing my story and my "WHY" to women who take the Self-Defense Class. I have the honor of being on the team and it is something I am passionate about.

Every Self Defense Class has a graduation night where the women are attacked and have the opportunity of putting into practice what they have learned. I love to empower them before hand.

The facilitator along with these two men and two others devote themselves to being the "Bad Guys" to help make the techniques the women have learned, practical.
