Melanie, LCSW

I am a licensed clinical social worker with a strong background in advocacy and mental health.  As a clinical navigator with Kandu, I enjoy working with Survivors and Care Partners as they traverse and process their new experiences and realities.  I am grateful to be with them as they return to (or discover new) activities that bring them meaning, joy, and value.  We are here to provide education, resources, and support, as well as someone who will not only hear you, but who will actively listen.  My favorite thing about working at Kandu is that we encourage our Survivors to set their own goals and take charge of their recovery and lives.  When I am not working I can be found walking my puppy Augie, spending time with my friends, or watching sports.
