Hello, my name is Marisa (she/her). I am so proud of you for reaching out for support. I am passionate about supporting adults navigating complex trauma/PTSD, anxiety, depression, racial and ethnic trauma and identity issues, substance use, intimate partner violence, sexual abuse/assault, formerly incarcerated/ justice impacted experiences, life transitions, grief and loss, low self-worth and esteem, and you know all the other beautiful and terrible things in life!
I use a trauma-informed lens and pull from a variety of different approaches, however my specialty is Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). Together we will collaborate to work towards the life you want for yourself and reduce the impact of your past experiences still tethered to your wellbeing.
It is my honor to create a space for healing because you are entitled to a trusting relationship grounded in compassion, authenticity, and patience. I am intentional about maintaining a holistic perspective and cultivating space for you to show up as your truest self. If you are ready to start your healing journey, please reach out!
