Hi there, I'm Clarissa!

Our experiences shape us, they don't have to define us. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who believes that healing is crucial and begins with feeling seen, heard, and understood. Asking for support can feel overwhelming, and I strive to create a safe, welcoming space where you can explore life's challenges without judgment.

My focus

Having difficulty navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, relationship challenges, and stress? Using a compassionate, trauma-informed approach, I help clients build resilience, develop healthy coping skills, and create meaningful, lasting change in a safe, supportive environment.

My approach

My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and tailored to each individual's unique needs. I draw from evidence-based practices including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), trauma-informed care, strengths-based therapy, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, attachment-focused interventions, and solution-focused techniques.
