Hello, I'm Marisa! I am a trauma therapist with a passion for helping adults bring safety and confidence back into their life. Are you tired of being burdened by self-doubt, feeling disappointed in your relationships, and sacrificing needs to prove your worth? I am here to help you heal, accept and prosper. I provide a safe space for authenticity, vulnerability, and alliance as we have all experienced times of feeling misunderstood and alone. As a social worker, I take a holistic approach, considering your physical, psychological, and social well-being. Check out my personal website to learn more about my services: redefining-me.com
I specialize in developmental & relational trauma, grief and loss, and self-exploration. I offer abandonment recovery, behavioral change coaching, parts work and therapy to assist your Ketamine journey if you are looking for preparatory or integrative sessions. Together, we can bring safety & confidence back into your life. I'm eager to hear your story!
In our sessions, I will integrate mindfulness, psychoeducation, skill-building, curiosity, and compassion. I offer tailored programs, guided embodiment exercises, and have training in Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP). Let's work together so I may help you redefine yourself, release what no longer serves you and assist you in creating a meaningful life.

I use behavior-focused modalities so that you can see the observable change you are looking for and feel greater autonomy. I take a trauma-informed approach as I believe most of our behaviors come from our underlying need to seek out safety. I will teach you how to alter your relationship with your thoughts and emotions with experiential and somatic methods.
