Hi! I’m Dr. Marissa, a trauma, grief and loss specialist for children, teens and families. My background includes 20+ years facilitating group and individual bereavement and trauma supportive services, pediatric medical inpatient and outpatient work with children and families, and individual and family therapy in Private Practice.
The therapeutic techniques I commonly use are EMDR, CBT, DBT, ACT, with a strengths based perspective. I am skilled at tailoring these interventions and using other methods to individualize my treatment approach for each client. My strong research background guides me to implement evidence based models effectively with creativity and engaging techniques.
I received my Master’s in Social Work from University of Michigan and PhD in Social Work from Loyola. I create a safe space teaching clients how to lean into and build emotional tolerance and mastery around the discomforts of everyday life.
