Great to meet you!

Hi there, I'm Marissa!

I support you in navigating your life and relationships. Do you often feel disconnected or unheard by your spouse? There is a way to feel connected and heard. Together, you can gain new perspectives and learn tools to heal from problems in your relationship. I provide a safe and supportive environment where you can be yourself.

My focus

I work with individuals, couples, and families navigating relationship disconnection, infidelity, grief, trauma, self-esteem, and personal growth. You are not broken. You are healing beautifully. Your next level of growth starts here.

My approach to therapy

I view therapy as a path we take together. I work with infidelity, grief, and trauma using EMDR and trauma-focused techniques. When trauma is stored incompletely, the past intrusively comes up in your present, causing difficulty in relationships. I'm interested in improving the dynamics of your relationships so they do not have to define you.

What you can expect from me

I plan on getting to know you and your situation to determine the best path forward. I believe therapy is a partnership. Together, we'll identify and set goals that matter to you, whether improving relationships, building self-esteem, or another objective.

Our first session will be an opportunity for us to get to know one another. We'll discuss your background and what brings you to therapy. It's completely normal to feel nervous about your first appointment. We'll take it one step at a time, and I'm here to guide you through each step of the process.
