About Marissa

A professional helper on your healing journey.

Welcome to The Healing Space! I’m so glad you are here. My name is Marissa (she/her/ella) and I’m a licensed mental health therapist. I specialize in both perinatal and behavioral therapy. I am passionate about working with individuals, couples, and families through infertility/loss, pre-conception, pregnancy, and postpartum, as well as working with OCD, anxiety, and trauma. I come from a client-centered approach, which really just means that I believe you are the expert in you! I use evidence-based treatment to support your wellness and approach each case holistically, understanding that you are not just your symptoms. I am LGBTQIA+ affirming. I am a lifelong learner in cultural competence and operate through a social justice lens.
