(she/her)
I’m a licensed therapist with over 15 years of experience in individual, family, and couples counseling. I specialize in helping individuals and couples who struggle with everyday challenges and relationship difficulties. My goal is to support you in improving your daily functioning and navigating through tough times with confidence and resilience. In addition to my counseling work, I’ve held leadership roles in nonprofit mental health programs, where I’ve overseen grant-funded initiatives focused on community well-being. Reaching out for help is a brave and important first step, and I’m here to walk alongside you on this journey. Whether you’re looking for support in managing life’s stressors or strengthening your relationships, I look forward to working with you and helping you find the balance and peace you deserve.
During our first session together we will identify the areas in your life that you want to improve/work on. We will discuss some history such as family history or any traumas experienced so I can get a better understanding of challenges you are facing.
I meet my clients where they are. There is no guide on how therapy should go. It is entirely up to my clients to decide where we take therapy. My clients often say they feel like they are talking to a firned when they are in session with me and that is how I want all my clients to feel.
My clients tend to struggle with relationships and making decisions on how to identify deal breakers and triggers for them in relationships. Together I work with my client to create a safe environment for them to communicate to their partners. My clients also tend to have difficulty navigating life transitions and making the decisions that are best for them. Together my clients and I explore the options that will give them the results that they are looking for. My clients leave my sessions feeling supported in any and every decision they make, never judged.

Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
xperienced in using Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help individuals develop psychological flexibility and live more meaningful lives. I guide clients in identifying their values, accepting difficult thoughts and emotions, and committing to actions that align with what truly matters to them. My approach blends mindfulness, behavioral change strategies, and compassion to support people in overcoming anxiety, depression, life transitions, and emotional challenges. I create a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore their inner experiences and build a richer, fuller life.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I’ve been using CBT in my practice for the past five years. It’s helped dozens of clients challenge reoccurring thoughts and manage their anxiety. We’ll use CBT to recognize how your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors influence each other. We’ll then use that knowledge to change your thinking patterns, which will help you lead a less anxious and stressed life.

I've been to therapy before, but working with her has been different. She doesn't just sit and listen, so far she challenges me, gives me homework, and helps me actually apply what we talk about in real life. I leave sessions with things to think about and work on, which is helping me grow so much. If you're looking for a therapist who's supportive but will also hold you accountable, I highly recommend her.

Maryssa listens and empathizes. Additionally, she offers advice that can help me communicate with my significant other.
