About

Hi there! My name is Karissa and I am a Clinical Social Worker located in Michigan. My goal is to make you feel heard and understood - in order to help empower you to work through whatever struggle or stressor you may be dealing with. I come to you unrehearsed, with a non-judgmental, curious and genuine approach. I believe that you are the expert of your own experience and your own needs. I am practical and straight-forward, while also demonstrating compassion. I am not afraid to laugh with you as we go through our therapeutic journey together. Your honesty, openness and willingness to be vulnerable will be beautiful components of this process together.
