hi! i’m here to support your well-being

Are you someone who is looking to feel heard and understood from someone who really gets it? Maybe you’ve been feeling the impact of trauma, especially childhood wounds, but don’t know what to do to start healing?

You’re in the right place! I’m Marissa. As a survivor of childhood trauma and a queer, neurodivergent individual, I offer a space where our shared experiences can foster genuine connection and growth. My practice is a space where you don’t have to filter yourself (cussing is encouraged!) and where you can talk about anything and everything.

Therapy with me is like connecting with a supportive, non-judgmental friend who has the knowledge and training to back up the advice given and questions asked. I am a down-to-earth, compassionate therapist, meaning no psychobabble or cold, clinical vibes - just real conversation that helps you explore your deeper world and understand yourself better.

Let’s figure out your next steps together!

EMDR trauma
therapy

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a therapeutic approach designed to help individuals process and heal from traumatic or distressing experiences. During an EMDR session, I will guide you through a series of eye movements, sounds, or taps while you focus on specific memories or thoughts. This process aims to reduce the emotional intensity and negative impact of those memories, allowing the brain to reprocess them in a healthier way. EMDR can be effective for treating PTSD, childhood trauma, anxiety, depression, and other mental health conditions.  

I offer EMDR in my individual sessions as well as in the intensive format.

therapy

I offer individual therapy sessions virtually in the state of North Carolina using a secure video platform. I accept insurance, including Aetna, NC State Health Plan, Blue Cross Blue Shield and Blue Home UNC Health Alliance, Ambetter, and MedCost insurance. I can provide a superbill for out-of-network coverage and also offer self-pay at a rate of $180 for a 50 minute session.

Walk & talk therapy is also available in the Raleigh, North Carolina area! I often pick Lake Johnson for the wonderful walking trails. This service cannot be combined with EMDR therapy due to its active and non-confidential nature.
