Making meaningful changes in life can be difficult. We tend to stick to what’s familiar, sometimes leaving us stuck in places we no longer want to be. The path towards healing and growth can sometimes be overwhelming and confusing. I believe that often, the answer is already within us, but we may need guidance to view life through a new lens. I’d like to walk with you on your journey of expansion. I am here to help you access your potential and develop the tools you need to have more fulfilling relationships with yourself and others.
I am a graduate of Azusa Pacific University’s M.A. in Clinical Psychology program with an emphasis in Marriage and Family Therapy. I work from a psychodynamic and trauma-informed lens, as I believe that long-lasting change requires understanding and healing from our pasts. As a humanistic therapist, I also believe that you are the best expert on yourself, and as such, I take a non-judgmental and collaborative approach in the therapeutic process.
I am an LGBTQ+ affirming therapist and am interested in working with individuals struggling with anxiety and mood disorders, relationship issues, self-esteem, life direction, trauma, and issues surrounding sex and/or gender. As a Gottman Level 1 certified therapist, I also work with couples and have a special interest in working with premarital couples seeking to improve their relationship and build a strong foundation for a lifelong partnership.
Marisa is a Registered Associate Marriage and Family Therapist #130805 under the supervision of Kelly Aguirre, LMFT#93109.
I am currently accepting new clients.
