My therapeutic approach is warm, kind, nonjudgmental, and compassionate. I want the people I'm working with to feel as supported as possible through what can be difficult work. ERP (Exposure and Response Prevention) is a commitment. The best outcomes are obtained through consistency and dedication. Take this journey with me — the juice is worth the squeeze! I also have experience treating addiction and chronic mental health conditions.

Marissa is just TERRIFIC!!!
A.L.
Marisa was a miracle for our 13 year old daughter. She literally changed her life by being a part of it. This was the first time our daughter had therapy and she was quite shy, but seeing Marisa quickly became the highlight of her week. I see her saving things during the week to show Marisa in their weekly meeting as she would to a best friend, and Marisa sweetly remembers all the details in my daughter’s day week after week and they even have code words for her friends. I guess only once there’s that level of trust and comfort that such a difference can be made. Marisa was so compassionate and thinks quick on her feet to “design an ERP” on the spot to fit whatever challenges my daughter shared in the moment. Her advise were always relevant and thoughtful. Before we met Marisa, our daughter used have anxiety that interfered with enjoying simple life pleasures like taking pictures on her phone, shopping, and sleeping in on the weekends. After working with Marisa, I can say we have our daughter back. Life will always be with challenges and she has room to learn, but the skills Marisa taught her will surely help my daughter very much along the way. I wish for everyone to be blessed with a therapist as wonderful as Marisa in their life :)
