About Melanie

I'm a very compassionate person with strong desire to help others. I am reliable, honest, and caring. A loyal and trustworthy person that will always choose to do the right thing by my clients. As a licensed social worker I'm bound by law to report abuse and neglect. Your loved one will be cared for and supported at all times while in my presence. I have excellent references and I'm proud of my strong Midwestern values. I have extensive skills and many years of direct experience working with people who have mental health challenges, including persons with clinical diagnosis of persistent and serious mental health challenges. I'm reliable and will always advocate for my clients in order to help them maintain a semblance of independence, safely and will always treat them with respect and dignity. In my spare time, I love to cook, read, and spend time outdoors with my pets and my significant other.
