Melody holds an M.A. in Professional Counseling from Amberton University and an M.S. in Family Studies from Texas Woman’s University. She is a Certified Personality Disorder Treatment Provider with Level II DBT Accreditation and is currently a doctoral candidate at Liberty University, pursuing a Ph.D. in Psychology with a concentration in Theology and has been with Counseling Cove PLLC since 2021.

Licensed in seven states, Melody provides accessible, individualized care to a diverse population. She fosters a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered through active listening, collaborative care, and tailored treatment. Her experience as director of a faith-based homeless shelter, along with years in community and social services, enriches her holistic and client-centered approach utilizing an ecclectic blend of Motivational Interviewing and Reality Therapy.

When she’s not seeing clients, Melody enjoys spending time with her husband, daughter, family, and friends—and their two beloved Russian Blue cats. She is also a writer of both fiction and nonfiction, passionate about Bible study and theology, and integrates Christian faith into counseling when requested by her clients.
