Professional Experience
Throughout my professional journey, I’ve had the privilege of exploring various healthcare settings and gaining diverse experiences. One of the notable opportunities I had was working at a ketamine infusion center, which provided me with a unique perspective on alternative treatments. This experience allowed me to become well-versed in administering and understanding the effects of ketamine, a treatment that has shown promise in addressing certain mental health conditions.
However, my journey didn’t end there. A significant portion of my professional trajectory was dedicated to working in a specialized environment focused on psychiatric medication management. This role allowed me to refine my expertise and deepen my understanding of this field. It was an invaluable experience that empowered me to assist individuals in effectively navigating their mental health challenges through the careful and appropriate use of medications.
Before completing my Nurse Practitioner training, I spent 12 fulfilling years as an inpatient Pediatric nurse at a children’s hospital. This role was particularly rewarding as I had the opportunity to care for and support young patients during their hospital stays. Working with this population shaped my understanding of pediatric healthcare and provided me with invaluable experiences.
Overall, my journey has been characterized by diverse experiences in different healthcare settings, which have contributed to my professional growth and personal development. Each role I’ve held has enhanced both my expertise and compassion, and I eagerly look forward to continuing to make a positive impact in the lives of those I serve.

“Melissa is truly an extraordinary individual who has gone above and beyond to support me. When I first started seeing her last year, I was filled with hopelessness and doubted my ability to ever improve. She took the time to truly listen and understand the underlying issues, rather than simply prescribing me medications. I highly recommend her for anyone seeking exceptional care and guidance.”
