Hi there, I'm Marisa!
I'm a licensed clinical social worker who specializes in the people other therapies haven't worked for. If you've tried CBT, DBT, medication changes, and still feel like you're white-knuckling through life, that's exactly who I work with. You're not failing therapy. Therapy hasn't caught up yet.
My focus
Adults with ADHD, anxiety, OCD, and PTSD, especially those diagnosed late in life after years of being told they're lazy, dramatic, or not trying hard enough. Single parents doing it all alone. First responders carrying what they can't unsee. People who understand the concepts but can't make them stick.
My approach
I don't just work with your thoughts. I use ERP for OCD, Prolonged Exposure for PTSD, and biofeedback to train your nervous system directly. If your body is stuck in overdrive or shutdown, we address that first, because no coping skill works when your nervous system won't let you access it.
