Minneapolis is fast-moving and high-achieving. You are managing a career, a baby, a household, and a version of yourself that is getting harder to find. You look like you have it together. You are barely hanging on.

Anyone who has spent a Minneapolis winter knows what a commute costs. When the temperature is in the single digits, the roads are iced over, and your baby finally just fell asleep, getting yourself across town to a therapist's office is a real and significant barrier. Virtual coaching removes that barrier entirely. Sessions happen from your couch, your car in the driveway, wherever you can get an hour of quiet. The Minneapolis winter does not affect your access to support.
Most Minneapolis moms do not have a clean, open hour sitting in the middle of their week. They have nap windows, partner handoffs, and the occasional miracle of a quiet morning. Melissa's scheduling is flexible and built to work around how your life actually runs, not around a rigid office calendar that assumes you have predictable free time.
Mental health waitlists in the Twin Cities can stretch for weeks or months. Coaching is typically available much sooner. If you need support now, the free consultation gets the process started without a long wait standing between you and actual help.
Melissa serves Minneapolis moms virtually and also works with moms throughout the Twin Cities metro, including St. Paul, Apple Valley, Eagan, Burnsville, Bloomington, Edina, Minnetonka, and surrounding communities. Location within the metro is not a factor. If you are in the Minneapolis area, you can access the same quality of support from home that you would get anywhere else.
No. All sessions are held virtually. This is intentional—virtual coaching is more accessible, more flexible, and more private than in-person sessions, especially for moms with babies and young kids at home who cannot easily get out the door for an appointment.
Sessions are held over a secure video call at a scheduled time that works for you. You need a reliable internet connection and a private space for sixty minutes. Setup is simple and Melissa walks you through everything before your first session.
Yes. Melissa works with moms throughout Minneapolis, St. Paul, the suburbs, and across Minnesota. Virtual format means location within the metro is never a limiting factor.
Postpartum coaching, pregnancy coaching, ADHD coaching for moms, anxiety coaching, and infertility support coaching—all available to Minneapolis-area moms virtually.
