I am a mental health counselor licensed in Oklahoma and provisionally licensed in Florida with years of experience working as a counselor and behavioral rehabilitation. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, OCD and ADHD. I also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse. I offer non traditional hours for individuals with demanding school, work, or life schedules.
My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic and rational-emotive counseling. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.

Marissa is just the right pick for me
Written on Mar 27, 2023 after therapy with Marissa for 1 year and 11 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, self esteem, career difficulties, bipolar disorder, and coaching
I’ve been doing regular weekly sessions for almost two years, and today is my last day on better help.
Marissa helped survive a very hard phase of my life where I was suffering from Panic Attacks, Anxiety, Depression, Stress, Attachment issues and Grieving a loss of beloved one.
Throughout those years she always motivated me and she never judged me or made me feel uncomfortable not even once, she was always available through text between sessions and when I needed urgent help, and she never did miss any session or joined late.
So far I can say that I’m so proud that I healed from all of my mental health problems, I’m mindful, I’m grateful and I’m happier than ever.
Thank you Marissa, thanks a ton

Working with Marissa was like a breath of fresh air. I’ve always had issues with therapy because I never had one that listened and asked the right questions. Marissa is the complete opposite always listening and asking good follow up questions, never assuming anything until clarity is reached.

Marissa has been amazing. She lets me talk about whatever I want to each session and actually gives me feedback and doesn’t just say simple sentences like “I’m sorry you feel that way” for example.
She has been a tremendous help to my recovery, I still have a long way to go but overall she has been there, given me worksheet (which I love), checks up on me, and genuinely cares.
She is by far the best therapist I have had in person and on Better Help.
I would absolutely recommend her to anyone!
Thank you so much for helping me through my rough times and listening and feeling like a friend.

Words cannot begin to describe the tools given to me from Marissa to help me build myself into who I am now and am currently building myself into. I have found that she is truly helped me in ways beyond what words can describe. Marissa is approachable, easy to talk to, and has offered me various perspectives in the things that I struggled with. I have turned over a new leaf with her expertise and would strongly recommend her to any of my friends and strangers alike.
