About MeLanie

I am a Board Certified Life Coach with a specialty designation in Personal/Life Coaching from the CCE (Center for Credentialing in Education), an affiliate of NBCC (National Board for Certified Counselors). I am a Clinincal Mental Health Counselor (LP). My values-based coaching/counseling is grounded in professional training, ethical standards, and mental health insight into behavior, motivation and change.

Dual training in coaching and counseling affords me the awareness to determine whether a client's presenting concerns are outside the scope of coaching where therapy may be more indicated. As a counselor, I am attuned to what lies beneath motivation, resistance, avoidance, fear, uncertainty, shame, or self sabotage- all of which the coaching process recognizes as barriers to change. I can detect subtle emotional cues of grief, trauma response, and even people-pleasing tendencies that can interfere with forward momentum. My coaching approach is grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) & Solution-Focused Therapy. My counseling appoach is grounded in Person-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectial Behavior Therapy (DBT) & Solution-Focused Therapy.

My professional history began in education as a teacher who transitioned into educational leadership- working with students from diverse backgrounds, including those with special needs, deepening my appreciation of individual struggles. In realizing my career highlights were using a social-emotinal approach to staff and students to listen with empathy, I followed that shift into a career that allowed me to serve as a thinking partner on a personal level, to help others figure out ways their lives can be improved.
