Melanie is a compassionate and experienced Physician Assistant who brings almost a decade of clinical expertise and a deep passion for caring for people through every season of life. Patients often share that what stands out most about Melanie is not only her knowledge, but the way she listens, connects, and helps them feel understood and supported. She earned her Master of Physician Assistant Studies from Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, following a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Penn State. That combination of psychology and medicine shaped her unique approach grounded in evidence-based care, empathy, and a belief that healing begins with trust and partnership. In joining our practice, Melanie brings her whole-heart commitment to patient care into the mental health space, where listening deeply, honoring each person's story, and building safe, supportive relationships are at the center of her work.
