MEET MELISSA

teacher

I am also a teacher who works with children who are deaf and hard of hearing and have other special needs. I work closely with the students and their families to provide appropriate services and solutions. Family dynamics are an important aspect of these relationships and are a focus of my work with them.

Cancer Survivor

I was diagnosed with colorectal cancer in 2010 and underwent treatment for a year and am gratefully cancer free. During treatment and after, I found invaluable support group at the Cancer Support Community Pasadena. I understand the fear and uncertainty that surrounds a cancer diagnosis and the impact it has on you and your family.

Wife and parent

My personal life is filled with family including my two young children and my wife. It is my privilege to work with families of all backgrounds.
