About

Marissa is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor inspired by the connection between mind, body, heart, and soul. Her goal is to help you facilitate personal growth and mental wellness. By creating a space where you can feel safe, Marissa hopes to help you begin shedding all of the things that you are not so you can shine brightly again or maybe, shine for the first time in your life.
Marissa holds a Master of Science degree in Mental Health Counseling as well as a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and Studio Art. Though primarily trained in a Humanistic, Person-Centered approach, Marissa’s style of therapy is very wholistic and eclectic. She often incorporates aspects of Mindfulness, Meditation, and Positive Psychology as well as CBT and DBT during sessions. She is well versed in working with those who have suffered from anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and addiction. She is also a member of the LGBTQIA+ community.
Marissa views herself not as an authority who tells you what to do to be “fixed”, but rather as a fellow traveler who meets you where you are at right now, and who will walk with you on this journey you lead called life.
