Hi, I'm Maurissa. Much of my background has involved work with people on the Autism spectrum and I found that they struggle with the same things that many people do, including grief, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, trauma, etc. My experience with people on the spectrum has helped me to provide an open perspective to work with those struggling with emotional regulation and different ways of thinking.
I am very person-centered in that the session will typically start with me asking you if there's anything that you want to talk about first. I utilize CBT by helping you to find that connection between your thoughts, feelings, and actions. I also am trained in Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy and Brainspotting.
The first session involves a lot of questions for me to learn what is bringing you to therapy and how to best help you. I will also encourage you to ask me questions so you can get a feel if we are a good fit together.
