Young adulthood is an exciting time of growth and change. It can also be a time of stress and uncertainty as you navigate new directions in your life. During this time, we often feel challenged by new phases in our work, school, and relationships. You are moving toward independence and forming your identity while dealing with questions about your future. You may be struggling with your sense of meaning and purpose, or afraid to disappoint your family. Old coping skills aren't as effective anymore, or you may be concerned about your ability to cope in healthy ways. Having a safe space to work through these issues is so important!

We are troubled by two things. We wish our past, especially our childhood, had been different and so believe ourselves to be damaged by what we have experienced. And we feel inadequate compared to an idealized image we fabricate in our imagination. But you are neither damaged nor inadequate. In fact, you are already possession of everything you need to flourish. Therapy is not about changing anything essential about you because nothing essential about you can change. Instead, therapy is the journey to discover that essential self, make peace with its limitations, and embrace its possibilities.

In a world where we are constantly experiencing trauma, both directly and indirectly, it can be difficult to identify how deeply different things in life affect us. I believe that the experience of feeling understood can be the catalyst for change and something that allows for healing to begin. I aim to provide a space of healing, openness and exploration for those things that you might otherwise suppress or carry with heaviness or judgment. Together, we can heal that unresolved stuff from the past and create skills to support you through future circumstances.

Hello and welcome! I’m Marissa, a social worker/therapist and I help people heal from trauma and cope with depression/anxiety. While my experience is varied (my background includes hospice, community mental health, children birth-5, adults with serious mental illness), my current focuses are working with trauma/neglect and promoting perinatal mental health. Many of the clients I work with are seeking healing from past wounds and a desire to deepen their connection with their self. I like to approach sessions with warmth and curiosity and seek to create a space in which clients feel safe being their authentic selves.

Hey there! Many of us can benefit from having a therapist help navigate our everyday challenges. Whatever your reason for seeking therapy, I am grateful you are reading my profile and considering me.

So, if you find yourself trying to understand those on a deeper level, I believe we would be a great fit! I received my Masters in Marriage and Family Therapy from Northcentral University. I also have my Graduate Certificate in Play Therapy from Capella University.
