About My Clients
Do things seem overwhelming? Are you having difficulty coping with life's stressors, whether big or small? There can be relief from persistent thoughts and emotions with help. We can walk together on a path to positive mental health. Let me help guide you and give you the support that you need. I look forward to meeting you.
My Background and Approach
Marisa's personal philosophy and approach to counseling is a collaborative work that considers life experiences, patterns, relationships, and beliefs that have shaped and currently influence you or your family member’s ways of being in the world. Using a trauma-focused, holistic approach, she meets her clients where they are to collaborate on the path to healing. Using person-centered modalities, Marisa will allow her training to guide the process of identifying and exploring challenges through building a relationship with you and/or your family member. By providing a safe and accepting environment that facilitates growth, insight, and change, Marisa will work with you to determine the best fit for your needs.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I am a mom and wife and spend a lot of my personal time with my family. Professionally I am involved in Virginia Association of Play therapy, and am currently working towards a Registered Play Therapist credential. I staunchly support inclusion and diversity in both my personal and professional life, I love animals, and I offer a holistic approach to my interactions with all humans.
