Are you feeling stuck in anxiety, depression, overwhelm, comparisonitis, perfectionism, people pleasing or insecurity

We live in a world where the majority of the time we often feel obligated to pretend, to seem like we have it all together and put on a happy face when we often feel like we are crumbling on the inside.

You don’t have to face it all alone, therapy can help

I am committed to creating a space where you can finally feel seen, accepted, and understood without judgement. Where together we can get to the root of your stuckness and free you to be yourself and heal. 

My clients tell me that after our work together they feel like they can handle anything that comes their way, that they can love the parts of themselves that they used to hate and that they have newfound hope for a life of peace and joy. They no longer feel trapped or held back by their trauma or emotions and instead feel free to be themselves. 

I have advanced training in Trauma and Perinatal Mood Disorders and use therapeutic modalities including EMDR, CBT, Ego State Intervention and Mindfulness that help you heal fast and give you tools for lasting success.

Testimonials…

"I can't thank Marisa enough! She has equipped me with the tools I needed to feel confident in motherhood and work through the overwhelming thoughts and feelings that I had after experiencing birth trauma and a seemingly never ending NICU experience. She validated all of the feelings I had and helped me more than I thought was possible. I now feel more than capable to navigate new mom life and everything that comes with it."

-Sadie

"Working with Marisa is a recalibration, she brings me back to equilibrium by teaching me to identify my negative thought patterns as quickly as possible and raise my awareness to it. She is helping me be who I aspire to be rather than playing small. She helps me acknowledge how far I’ve come, I feel like opportunities are now open to me.” 

-Paula

"What Marisa does for the soul is something incredible. It is truly a gift to have the support, guidance and care that she offers. For the first time in a long time, she has helped me see a light that I did not even know existed."
