LCSW, 10 years of experience
As a dedicated licensed mental health therapist, I have had the privilege of working with individuals from diverse backgrounds, across a wide spectrum of socioeconomic statuses, and addressing an array of mental health concerns. My experience spans different populations, including children, adolescents, adults, and families, with an emphasis on creating a safe, inclusive, and empathetic space for healing and growth.
In your first session with me, you can expect a welcoming and supportive environment where we will work together to establish a foundation for our therapeutic relationship. My goal is to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you feel comfortable sharing your thoughts, feelings, and experiences. We will begin by discussing your reasons for seeking therapy, and I will take time to listen to your story. This is an opportunity for you to share any challenges, concerns, or goals that brought you to therapy, as well as any past experiences with mental health care. I recognize that each person’s journey is unique, and I approach each session with a genuine desire to understand and support you.
Above all, I approach therapy with a deep commitment to empathy, respect, and a collaborative approach to healing. My goal is always to empower clients to better understand themselves, develop coping strategies, and achieve sustainable mental and emotional well-being, regardless of their background or personal challenges.
I have worked with clients from a variety of cultural, economic, and social backgrounds, which has allowed me to develop a strong ability to understand and respect individual differences. Whether providing therapy in private practice, community settings, or clinical environments, I am committed to tailoring treatment to the unique needs and experiences of each person.

As Marissa listens to me chatter, it is easily to receive and know what is the solution to a problem or a current/past situation. She listens.

I like that she gives me space to think out my thoughts and when I do have moments where I don't understand something or there's a pause. She inserts her observations and asks questions to get me to think of the situation I'm in.
