Hi there, I'm Carissa!

I see clients online and specialize in perinatal psychology, with advanced training in perinatal mood and anxiety disorders (PMADs). I support people through conception, pregnancy, loss, birth trauma, and postpartum challenges.

My focus

I support clients who are trying to conceive, experiencing reproductive challenges, navigating high-risk pregnancies, and have experienced pregnancy loss, birth trauma, and a perinatal mood and anxiety disorder (PMAD), such as postpartum depression and postpartum anxiety.

My approach

As the author of Reclaim Your Life: Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in 7 Weeks, I utilize Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which helps people learn skills, such as mindfulness and compassion, to handle difficult thoughts and feelings so they can find freedom from suffering and engage in their lives.
