What People Are Saying
We were at a difficult place in our marriage. We weren’t sure where to begin the healing process. From the first day we met Melanie, she made us feel safe, heard, and loved. She is incredibly gifted…being able to both deeply listen and share Godly insight/wisdom. Each time we met, we felt encouraged and challenged. We felt like we could take the next step toward healing with the tools and encouragement she was giving us. We would highly recommend her to any individuals or couples that are desiring healing.
Melanie has taught me so much. One powerful thing she has taught me is to not be reactive to things. Instead, to slow down, not respond, and to give my worries and fears to God. In that waiting time, God can move. (“His ways are higher than mine” Isaiah 55:8-9)
I am so thankful for the wisdom and gift of Melanie. She is a true blessing to me and my family.
Melanie’s biblical wisdom, professional counseling knowledge, intuition, and life experience all combine to give you the consummate professional. She is sensitive and caring and longs only to express the heart of God to those she sees. She’s become a good friend and confidante to me, and
I highly recommend her to you.
When God brought Melanie into our lives, we were headed for divorce. After 20 years, we had developed some pretty unhealthy patterns of behavior and communication including endless cycles of explosive anger, sadness, regret, hopelessness, and finally a resolve to just quit. We were desperate for help.
Melanie became our “mediator” and provided the tools we needed to develop healthier communication. Despite our situation, she never made us feel judged or unloved. She has prayed for us, read scripture over us, and taught us the importance of self care, self control, and boundaries. We have both learned to communicate in more loving and respectful ways…even when there is conflict.
Melanie kept us along with our three beautiful daughters from unraveling. Everyone in the family has had sessions and benefited from Melanie’s counsel.
The one word I would use to describe our sessions with Melanie it’s this: HOPE!
