I was first drawn to social work when I worked in a facility that housed teens. I enjoyed the relationships I made and the support I was able to provide. I realized my strength was simply just listening and making them feel heard. This experience eventually lead me to receiving my Masters in Social Work and becoming a clinical therapist. My goal has always been to help my clients understand that they can overcome any obstacle by using the daily skills I provide to change their outlook. With a little patience and time, we will work on changing thoughts and behaviors, so depression and anxiety are less likely to occur.

As humans we can get caught up in being human doings instead of human BEINGS. This mindset can be invalidating, robotic and cause a disconnect between our heart and our minds. We can identify these traits and shift our perspectives by allowing ourselves the time and space to feel and heal. When we are validating, compassionate and kind to ourselves we can embrace our inner desires and experience deeper connections. Then, together, we can embrace the possibility of change and hope through therapeutic discussions and professional guidance. This degree of encouragement can be exactly what you may need to find your way in your journey.

Trauma, chronic stress and adversity can impact every aspect of overall wellbeing leaving you feeling overwhelmed, isolated and out of control of your thoughts and emotions. Healthy connections with safe and consistent people combined with a sense of self awareness and deepened understanding of our body and mind's reaction to events or circumstance can alleviate so many of these symptoms. When we can listen to our body's reaction and soothe the underlying need then we are able to have control over our reactions and regulate our emotions.

My primary focus of therapeutic services is to provide a conducive, safe, and confidential format that will ensure personal growth. Enabling the individual to regain functional capabilities which is the ultimate goal. In order to regain functionality and growth individuals in therapeutic settings may have to discuss pleasant/unpleasant aspects of their lives and may experience uncomfortable feelings such as anxiety, fear, shame, guilt, hatred, anger, and frustration. However, through counseling, clients learn how to appreciate themselves, make better decisions and become more open about themselves and the world they live in.

The psychiatrist Scott Peck wrote "Life is difficult. ...but once it is accepted, the fact that life is difficult no longer matters." One of the guiding principles of my work is the reality that life presents challenges to all of us. Those challenges often require us to examine views we have held for many years, and work to gain a new perspective. My experience with clients has shown me that for those who seek to grow and learn more about themselves, their relationships, and their lives, there are always answers.

I have over 25 years of experience working with couples, families, and individuals. My work with couples enhances communication when it has been hindered by trauma, illness, infidelity, or other stressors. Couples work helps members listen differently, understand, and negotiate respectfully. I help parents understand children's behavior through a social emotional developmental lens. Individual work within the context of relationships explores self care. Our lives are affected by the systems in which we live and work.

Offering COUPLES and individual counseling. In the 20+ years of being a therapist, I have had the honor of being able to witness clients taking more control over their lives, emotions and thoughts.

I greatly value the connection to people and spend considerable time building a therapeutic relationship. This genuine connection is how we can create a safe space together. I take an eclectic approach as no one size fits all when it comes to therapy.

I help people overcome stress and anxiety related to life transitions/changes. Feeling excessively anxious and dealing with panic attacks creates self-doubt, and leads to being unable to move forward with our dreams and intentions. I too struggled with anxiety and panic attacks resulting in wasted time and missed opportunities. I will teach you the same tools and strategies that worked for me and the many clients I have helped over the years.

Has life thrown a curveball at you and/or your family? Or do you continuously struggle with depression and anxiety? Maybe you feel like your life is a viscous cycle of not being able to find what makes you truly happy or constantly critiquing your self-worth. Whatever the circumstances are, you want to improve your overall quality of life and effectively cope with negative life events and/or circumstances. Maybe you have suffered a significant trauma that you would like to process more in-depth or re-build parts of yourself that need to be re-discovered as a result of that trauma.

My ideal client would be willing to work with me systemically, meaning someone willing to look beyond themselves and think, “Why is this happening?” instead of just thinking they are the problem. For example, if someone is coming in to work on depression and anxiety, my ideal client would be willing to explore the underlying issues contributing to the depression and anxiety instead of someone who is only looking for coping skills and such.

Are you aiming to improve your relationships with the goal of creating a greater sense of community support? Are you self-motivated and interested in processing your life experiences to find patterns and make meaning of your emotional experiences? A typical client will be aligned with the belief in the importance of community and community care. I work with clients who are ready to do "the work." The expectation is that clients show up regularly and on time for sessions.

Malissa's ideal client is one who is curious, open, and committed to trying interventions and techniques both in and out of sessions. The client is encouraged to look inward at times, explore past and present events that have shaped ideologies, beliefs, and protective barriers, and be willing to collaborate with her. The client's issues might range from anxiety and depression to challenges with dichotomous thoughts, identity confusion, academic/career exploration and transitions, spirituality conflicts, interpersonal challenges, women's issues, and premarital/marital coaching (including separation and divorce).
