Hi! I'm Karisa, and my primary goal as a therapist is to create a safe and supportive space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences without fear of judgment. Therapy does not mean giving people prepackaged solutions or the "right" way to think or feel. My approach is collaborative; I believe that you are the expert in your own life, and my role is to help you tap into your inner strengths and resources.

 

I am trained in the use of Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing (EMDR), Motivational Interviewing & Acceptance Commitment Therapy. I have experience working with anxiety, addiction, depression, low self-esteem, religious trauma, PTSD and other challenges that can impact wellness and recovery goals.

 

It takes emotional courage to seek support. I honor your emotional courage!
