Idea of Care

My approach is collaborative and personalized. Rather than focusing solely on symptoms, I explore underlying patterns, strengths and ways a patient’s environment, relationships and physiology influence their mental health. Sessions may integrate traditional talk therapy alongside mindfulness, somatic awareness, lifestyle support and skills for building resilience and trust.

Personal Interests

Outside of work, Marissa values spending time with family and slowing down through reading, cooking, crafting and creative projects. In the summer, she can often be found at the lake, appreciating time outdoors and the restorative power of nature.
