Carissa's goal is to create a collaborative, empowering relationship that helps clients explore where they are, how they got there and where they want to go. She can assist in helping clients find resilience and hope in life's struggles. 

​

Carissa has over 15 years of experience treating clients from childhood through the lifespan. She uses a calm, non-judgmental approach with an attachment focus to help the therapy space feel safe and open, whatever the issue. She has experience that includes, but is not limited to, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, eating disorders, trauma and obsessive-compulsive disorders. 

 

Carissa is also EMDRIA-trained in EMDR and uses that when appropriate.
