See what people are saying about working with Marissa...

"Marissa helped me understand my love language as a man and how it played into the health of my relationship, which significantly improved how I communicate with my partner. I highly commend her for her professionalism, patience and natural ability to create a safe space in which I felt comfortable and listened to." 

"Our marriage was at its last straw. Marissa provided us with the safe space we needed to work through our issues. She was always compassionate, fair and understanding, but also direct and tough when we needed her to be. She helped us realize many truths and work through some difficult feelings, providing us with tools and knowledge to navigate the hardships of our love and grow both as individuals and as a couple. Honestly, I think we would have gotten divorced if she hadn´t intervened; instead, our relationship is now stronger than ever and we know how to keep it that way. Unlike other therapists, I did not feel Marissa viewed us as just clients but rather as people she cared about and honestly wanted to help. I never thought I´d say this but I think I´ll miss our weekly couples counseling!"

“Marissa has been invaluable to my healing as a man. She is the real deal - not because she knows it all but because she sits with you through all of the shame you never realized held you back, and helps you to feel, heal, and move forward with the life you want.”

“I was fearful of couples counselling. Fear of the unknown kept me away from therapy for some time but half-way through our first session with Marissa, all my fear completely dissolved. I was amazed at how honest and clear Marissa communicated. During our sessions, I often would find myself tearing up with gratitude for her and how selfless and giving she was to me, my partner, and our relationship. I was in awe of how our relationship improved and became more meaningful. Now I feel closer to my partner than I ever have before. Love took on new meaning. I will always be grateful for Marissa and my partner for the experience. If counselling has ever crossed your mind, go for it. I feel lucky to have Marissa in my life and I’m certain that anyone who has the privilege of working with her will feel the same way too.”

“Great counsellors are born with a gift — Marissa is one of those incredible humans in the field. Masterful, insightful, and kind, she approaches relationships practically and armed with tons of helpful resources. She helped me and my partner resolve long-standing conflicts, improved our relationship, and set me on a path of self-discovery that I would never have expected. I feel so lucky and grateful to have worked with her! She may in fact be an actual angel.”

"Marissa has been instrumental in guiding me through the healing process that I've been striving towards my entire life. She is knowledgable, intuitive, and is a master of creating a safe and secure foundation on which healing attachment is absolutely critical. 

We're a year into our work together and I can happily attest that I have successfully shifted my attachment style from anxious to quite secure and have become adept at setting and maintaining boundaries."
