Mareesa is an exceptional therapist. Her insightful and warm, personable approach is truly unmatched. I really appreciate how she challenges my thinking in ways I haven't experienced in therapy before. Growth often comes from being challenged, and I am thoroughly satisfied with my therapy journey!

Mareesa has been a life-changing counselor who has guided me through past reflection, current situations, and future desires. People close to me have said that they notice a positive difference in how I have matured mentally and emotionally, and I truly believe that is in large part to our sessions. I appreciate that Mareesa asks prodding questions that help me get to the heart of my needs or growth areas. Really couldn't ask for a better therapist.

Mareesa has been a great support for me as I have navigated challenges in my life. She give great advice, poses thought provoking questions and is positive in her approach to counseling me.
I use a variety of therapeutic approaches to meet your unique needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps you identify and change negative thought patterns that affect your relationships. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches you skills for managing emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) focuses on finding practical solutions and building on your strengths to quickly address relationship challenges. Together, these methods provide a comprehensive approach to enhancing your relationships and personal well-being.
