Hi there, I'm Clarissa!

I'm excited to work with you. Before becoming a therapist, I worked as a horse trainer, which taught me patience, trust-building, and the power of connection. I bring that same dedication to helping you navigate life's challenges and thrive.

My focus

I work with preteens, teens, individuals, couples, and families. My specialties include ADHD, anger management, anxiety, behavioral issues, bipolar disorder, depression, eating disorders, family conflict, parenting, personality disorders, relationship issues, self-esteem, self-harming, stress, suicidal ideation, trauma, and PTSD.

My approach

I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Processing Therapy, and Psychodynamic methods to help reshape thinking and emotions. I recognize therapy can feel intimidating, but I'm here to stand by your side and walk you through your own goals.
