My Approach
Welcome! I’m Marissa, a licensed clinical social worker, and I am proud that you have taken a step towards bettering your emotional health and standing up for your needs and wants. My experience spans several settings and populations, including the foster care system, answering calls on a national helpline for parents and youth, supporting human trafficking survivors, addiction medicine, hospital social work, and infant and adult mental health.
​
I believe the first step in successful mental health therapy is building rapport and that the relationship cultivated between the therapist and the client is key to any successful therapy. Using a combination of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and a person-centered approach, I actively support my clients in identifying their objectives. Together, we will walk through what weighs heavily on your heart, uncover the root causes of your pain. And find meaningful answers to help you reclaim your sense of self-worth and belonging.
​
I look forward to walking alongside you on this journey, providing support and guidance as we work towards your emotional well-being and personal growth.
