After a crisis, loss or trauma each individual has their own unique way of coping. Sadness, guilt, anger, shock and feelings of helplessness are common. The healing process may begin with the passage of time and the support of loved ones, but many people find that professional help is beneficial during this very vulnerable time. I believe that everyone deserves to feel whole and live a life of joy and purpose. I'm committed to providing a holistic approach to mental health care, that honors the unique complexities of each individual and the mind/body connection.

My goal as a therapist is to help you make sense of difficult past experiences and make meaningful changes in your life. We will work collaboratively to help you acquire the tools needed to make progress towards your goals. I work to personalize each therapeutic experience to meet my clients' needs, strengths, and goals. Sessions often focus on helping you gain insight into patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaving and learning to modify those unhelpful and maladaptive patterns to improve your mental health and quality of life.

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).

I believe that every person holds unique life experiences that cumulate to create the story of who they are. These stories provide context to how people express themselves and view the world around them. Within the therapeutic space, I seek to meet clients in a warm, non-judgmental environment, one that is guided by a holistic framework to identify what health and wellness look like for each individual. By incorporating a strengths-based approach and emphasizing acceptance, I focus on collaboratively exploring each person's story to find the balance in accepting what they cannot control and making changes in areas they can.

I create a safe environment in which you can feel comfortable to say anything without fearing judgment. I want you to feel at ease in order to be able to trust me with your stories. I love exploring so many aspects of a person’s life and to be able to help you make sense of it all. Where the pain, the anger, sadness, all comes from. I’m strength based and I like to learn what tools you already have as you journey through life, because you may not see your own courage or tenacity that was able to help you overcome so many obstacles. I want to explore where your past is showing up in the present.

Guided Counseling- Anxiety and Trauma Relief
Being with the people closest to us is often the most challenging part of our life. You might understand why things are like this, but how do you deal with it? The same conflicts repeat over and over. Despite your best efforts to avoid this, you watch yourself falling back to yelling, arguing, or walking away defeated. Maybe it's not ALWAYS this way but there's definitely potential for improvement. Getting along better would ease a lot of that stress, worry, and pain. Things would certainly improve for others affected by this negativity too. Knowing how to love yourself and others would make life much easier and enjoyable.

As a licensed mental health counselor I specialize in multicultural counseling, individual therapy treating disorders such as substance abuse, personality disorders, anxiety, phobias, trauma and couples counseling. As we move into a new and different world I imagine it can be hard for some of us to develop new coping skills to manage living in this new world. I am here to help navigate and guide you and your loved ones through these difficult times. I also provide home visits for the elderly who just can't leave their home yet still need someone to talk. More details will be provided during the intake.

Sometimes life can feel like a struggle and it can be difficult coping with daily tasks. Stress builds up and maybe you find it hard to say "no" even when you are overwhelmed. Asking for help is the first step in getting to a better place - a place where you can identify and reconnect with your values and take steps toward honoring what's important to you. I believe therapy is not “one size fits all,” but rather a journey to find what works for each person. Together we can explore what will work for you and have some fun along the way.

The therapies I offer focus on helping to alleviate the negative symptoms that can come with these battles.

There’s nothing I find more gratifying than helping my clients redefining purpose in their lives. While we are in a constant struggle with the expectations of others, we often lose sight of who we are ourselves. We negotiate, toil, and sacrifice—sometimes without even knowing why.
