Hello! I'm Marisa and I'm a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner, located and working with clients in New Jersey. I received my bachelor's and master's degrees in nursing from the University of Pennsylvania and I provide top-notch virtual sessions to support clients on their mental health journeys. My specialties include mood disorders, addiction treatment, anxiety disorders, trauma disorders, and neurodivergence.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session we will walk through your history of symptoms, medical history, family history and current stressors. We will talk about some possible routes to go in to manage symptoms, discuss risks/benefits, decide together on next steps and schedule when we should next meet to assess our current plan. We can meet for how long or how often is appropriate for best managing your symptoms.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
As a provider well-versed in a variety of treatment approaches, including medication, talk therapy, genetic testing and herbal remedies, I can help us create a unique, individualized treatment plan that helps us meet your goals while also respecting your preferences.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
I work very well with adults who are struggling with managing their anxiety and mood symptoms. I use a holistic approach to treatment including medication, therapeutic modalities and alternative/complimentary methods and we can work together to tailor our treatment plan to your preferences.
