HEARTFELT HEALING

Hi, I’m Marissa!

A therapist, a mom, and someone who understands what it’s like to rebuild yourself while still showing up for the people you love. I offer therapy that honors your mind, body, and lived experience, supporting adults navigating anxiety, ADHD, depression, stress, and major life transitions. My approach is warm, grounded, and human: compassionate talk therapy, optional somatic practices, and practical tools you can actually use in your real life.

My work is rooted in helping you find relief with a grounded, heartfelt approach.

Individual
Therapy

Our sessions are grounded in thoughtful conversation & clinically informed care. Together, we explore patterns, emotions, and daily stressors with a mix of:

  • CBT-informed strategies

  • Mindfulness-based tools

  • Relational, strengths-based therapy

  • Practical skills you can use outside of session

Note : Our work together is always trauma-informed, meaning your comfort, boundaries, and pace guide the session. You never have to share more than you want to.

Somatic Therapy

As a somatic therapist, I offer body-based therapy to individuals seeking deeper healing and connection with themselves. Somatic therapy can be especially helpful for those experiencing anxiety, trauma, chronic stress, or feeling disconnected from their body. By gently tuning into physical sensations and the nervous system, this approach supports emotional regulation and long-term healing in a gentle, safe, and supportive way.

If somatic work feels right for you, we can slowly and thoughtfully incorporate the body into your healing process. This may include:

  • grounding exercises

  • breath or awareness work

  • noticing how emotions show up physically

  • simple tools that help regulate the nervous system

In Person & Virtual

Whether you prefer meeting in my Auburn office or joining virtually from home, both options provide a comfortable, supportive space for meaningful work.

FAQ’S

  • If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, stressed, or unsure how to move forward, therapy can be a helpful place to sort through things with support. You don’t need a crisis or a clear diagnosis to begin. Many people come in simply wanting to feel more grounded, more understood, or more like themselves again.

  • Our first session is a conversation. We’ll talk about what brought you in, what you’re hoping for, and what you need right now. There’s no pressure to prepare anything. You can just come as you are.

  • I offer both. You’re welcome to meet with me in my Auburn office, or we can connect virtually through SimplePractice. Most clients use whichever option fits their week best, and you can switch between the two as needed.

  • I work with adults navigating:

    • ADHD

    • Anxiety & chronic stress

    • Depression

    • Disordered eating

    • Major life transitions

    • Relationship and communication challenges

    • Overwhelm, burnout, and “feeling stuck”
