Great to meet you!

Feeling stuck, anxious, or overwhelmed?

Maybe relationships feel messy, or life has brought change, grief and old wounds to the surface.

You’re not alone. I see you—I’ve walked through my own seasons of pain and grief.

Hi, I’m Carissa, a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I walk alongside teens, adults, and families through life’s unexpected turns—offering gentle support in healing and helping my clients rediscover hope, even in the darkest seasons. Your story matters.

My approach to therapy

I know what it’s like to face seasons that shake you. You don’t have to carry it all alone. I specialize with anxiety, depression, and trauma, using evidence-based care to help clients build resilience and step into their next chapter with strength and hope. You can thrive again.

What you can expect from me

Clients can expect a warm, supportive space where healing and meaningful change begin. With 15 years of experience, I offer trauma-informed care rooted in DBT, EFT, and attachment-based therapy, tailored to your unique needs. I work with adults, teens, couples, and families—walking alongside you at a pace that fits your life.
