Do you feel stuck, trapped, or like no matter how hard you try, you just can’t move forward? Do you find yourself constantly on edge, overthinking everything, avoiding things you want to do, or wondering why certain experiences still affect you today? Maybe you’ve spent years trying to hold everything together, push your emotions aside, and simply survive, but you’re ready for something to change. I work with individuals just like you who are strong, caring, self-aware, and resilient, but exhausted from always having to hold it together. You may understand that your past has shaped you, yet still struggle to understand why you react the way you do, why you keep finding yourself in the same patterns, or why it’s so difficult to trust yourself and feel at peace. Together, we’ll explore what’s beneath the anxiety, self-doubt, and emotional overwhelm, helping you make sense of your experiences and develop ways to feel calmer, more grounded, and more in control of your life.

My goal is to help my clients see themselves flourish into someone they didn't think was possible and to help them move past challenges that seemed too hard to face at one point in time.

My approach is collaborative and personal, creating a space where you don’t have to figure everything out on your own. We’ll work together on setting boundaries without guilt, building self-trust and confidence, understanding your needs, and learning to make choices that reflect what you truly want rather than what fear tells you to do. Whether you’re struggling with your relationships, feeling disconnected from yourself, or trying to move forward from painful experiences, we’ll create a path that supports meaningful change at your own pace. This goes beyond just “surviving” your emotions. It’s about feeling safe within yourself, reconnecting with who you are, and building a life where you no longer feel defined or held back by what you’ve been through. You deserve the opportunity to feel more like yourself again.

First session

During our first session my top priority is building ongoing trust and rapport with my client’s while providing them with a safe, authentic and nonjudgmental space where they can feel at ease and be seen, heard, understood, validated and empowered. Therapy should be a place where you can unravel your most deep intimate thoughts and feelings without judgment. I continuously collaborate throughout the therapeutic process with my clients on their goals and their desired outcomes for themselves so they can be the most successful on their healing journey.

Strengths

One of the greatest strengths I bring to therapy is my ability to create a space where you can feel genuinely heard, understood, and accepted while also feeling empowered to make meaningful change. I bring warmth, compassion, honesty, and a strengths-based perspective to every session, meeting you where you are while helping you recognize the potential within you to move forward. I don’t believe therapy should feel like simply checking a box each week or receiving advice without being truly understood. You deserve a therapeutic experience that is personal to you—one where your story matters, your feelings have a place, and your goals guide the work we do together.

Ideal clients

I work best with adults who feel stuck, overwhelmed, anxious or emotionally exhausted and are ready to understand what's keeping them from moving forward. My clients are often high-functioning on the outside but struggling internally with anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, self-doubt, difficult life transitions or patterns from the past that continue to affect their present. I also enjoy working with individuals who are motivated and committed to change, ready to develop personal growth and willing to lean into discomfort along their healing journey.

Treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

By utilizing Cognitive Behavioral therapy (CBT) approach with my client's I help them identify how their thoughts, emotions and behaviors are contributing to their internal emotional experiences that they are having. I also help my clients identify their negative thoughts, challenge their negative thoughts and learn to create new ways of thinking to have positive emotions and outcomes.

EMDR

By utilizing Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) I help my client's process and heal from traumatic memories and distressing experiences through engaging in bilateral stimulation of the brain that helps reduce the emotional intensity and the negativity of the memory, allowing my client's to integrate the experience and move forward.

Motivational Interviewing

By utilizing motivational interviewing I help my client's explore their feelings and help discover their own motivations to change despite how difficult change can be. This modality help resolve ambivalent feelings and insecurities to find the internal motivation to change behaviors that are no longer serving a purpose.

I am very hopeful about my future sessions with Marisa. I felt heard and safe to share things that were difficult to face. After looking for a therapist for a long time this was the first time I felt comfortable.

I knew I needed to get my mental health in order and not being familiar with therapy sessions I took a shot in the dark. I read all the profiles and Marisa had good experience and the type of background I specifically needed for my issues. Although my first consult I felt, after meeting with her, that she is going to work with me and hopefully help get me to where I want to be!!

Marisa continues to challenge me beyond anything I've experienced in past therapy. I consider myself a self-aware person, but she always provides deeper insights to the challenges I bring to her and is able to take things a step further to help me understand myself better. I have seen growth at a strong and steady rate in my thinking, behaviors, and overall confidence, and she is helping me gain happiness and stability I never thought I could have in my relationships. I HIGHLY recommend her.
