Great to meet you!

My name is Larissa and I have over 12 years of experience as a therapist. I have my LCSW and I am also a PMH-C (pregnancy & postpartum), as well as a trauma informed yoga teacher in June 2023. I often use yoga and breathing practices in session if people are interested. I have experience working with people struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, grief/loss, pregnancy and postpartum concerns, traumatic birth, and adjusting to life changes (motherhood journey, starting college).

My approach to therapy

I utilize CBT, mindfulness skills, and strength-based approaches in sessions. I also challenge you to have at least one short term goal you are working on each week to utilize as a starting point for the next session.

What you can expect from me

Every session we will actively work on the goals you have set for yourself. My goal as the therapist is to have you leave session feeling at least a bit more hopeful and with a plan for how to approach any challenges you face in the upcoming week.
