Initially set on a course toward surgey, a path forged by his experiences as a U.S. Army medic, a chance encounter with a poem by Emily Dickson - "The Brain" - is wider than the sky" - ignited a new passion, but within the intricate, infinite universe of the human mind.

Hi, I'm Marisa. I specialize in supporting the women who are always 'the strong ones'—the dependable professionals, daughters, and partners who hold it all together while quietly carrying the weight of burnout and anxiety.

Many of my clients have spent years pushing through their own needs to show up for others. While that strength served you for a long time, it often leads to a sense of feeling stuck, numb, or disconnected. I offer a grounded, trauma-informed space where you can finally stop performing and start healing. Licensed in Ohio and Colorado, I bring both clinical expertise and lived understanding to help you move at a pace that feels safe for your nervous system.

I think it is important to know that I am a very genuine person who strives to make the counseling space feel warm and safe.
