A Practice Built on Strength and Resilience

I’m so glad you’re here. For more than a decade, I’ve supported individuals through some of life’s most difficult experiences, including trauma, grief, anxiety, depression, infertility, and major life transitions. As a therapist serving Rio Rancho and clients throughout New Mexico, I believe every person has inherent strengths and resilience. My role is to help you recognize those strengths, build on them, and develop practical tools for creating meaningful change. I believe therapy works best when you feel safe, respected, and accepted. Within our therapeutic relationship, you can focus on yourself, your healing, and your growth.

My approach to individual therapy is strengths-based, collaborative, and personalized to your needs. Whether you’re processing painful past experiences, struggling with anxiety or depression, navigating grief or a major life transition, or facing the emotional challenges of infertility, pregnancy, or postpartum life, we’ll work together to understand what you’re experiencing and identify a path forward.

We build on the strengths and resources you already have while developing practical coping skills and strategies to help you navigate current challenges. When appropriate, we can also address past trauma through EMDR therapy, explore patterns that may be affecting your thoughts, emotions, and relationships, and develop healthier ways of coping.

You don’t have to navigate difficult experiences alone. Therapy can provide a supportive space to process your experiences, strengthen your coping skills, reconnect with your resilience, and improve your emotional well-being. Our work together is guided by your goals and needs, with an emphasis on meaningful progress at a pace that feels right for you.

I understand that choosing a therapist can feel daunting. There’s vulnerability in reaching out, along with uncertainty about whether therapy will help or whether you’ll find the right fit. I invite you to schedule a complimentary 15-minute therapy consultation with Marisa or with me. We look forward to learning about what you’re looking for, answering your questions, and helping you determine which therapist and approach may be the best fit for your needs.

You deserve support that honors your experiences, recognizes your strengths, and meets you where you are.
