Hi! I'm Marissa, a Trauma-informed therapist who can help you understand how PTSD can impact your anxiety, depression, relationships, ADHD, stress, as well as daily functioning. I am dedicated to supporting teens and young adults as we explore symptoms of Trauma in a warm, nonjudgmental space where you can feel safe to explore, heal, and grow. Outside of therapy, I believe in the importance of balance and creativity. I enjoy rock climbing, painting/artist outlets, and spending time outdoors—activities that help me recharge and stay grounded. I bring that same appreciation for balance and personal growth into the therapeutic space.

My therapeutic approach is collaborative and tailored to your unique needs. I integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Trauma-Focused CBT (TF-CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), as well as person-centered, strength-based, solution focused and emotionally focused techniques.

I offer virtual and in person individual therapy, allowing you to access support in multiple ways that fits your schedule and lifestyle. If you're ready to begin—or even just explore—the journey of therapy, I’m here to walk alongside you. Together, we’ll work to identify patterns, build coping tools, and reconnect with your sense of purpose and self.

I work with clients who may be struggling with depression or trauma related to their relationships or family. After our initial sessions, we will begin to delve into the issues at hand, and collaborate to create a plan for addressing them in a way that helps you get your life back. Using a strengths based approach, my clients see a gradual lifting of symptoms and sustained improvement thereafter.

I often use narrative and emotionally focused therapy in my practice. In your first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and then decide the most appropriate ways to help you make progress. With EFT, we'll look at how your thoughts affect your emotions and experience. During treatment, I'll help you learn how to challenge those thoughts to understand your feelings for the better.
