You’re exhausted from holding it all together.

Does this sound familiar?

​

• There’s a steady internal pressure and a strong inner critic telling you to try harder, do better, be less sensitive.

​

• You feel like you're both too much and never enough.

 

• Your mind is always scanning—what needs to get done, who might be upset, how you came across.

​​

• Your emotions can feel intense and hard to regulate.

​​

• You carry responsibility for other people’s comfort and blame yourself when something goes wrong.

You deserve more than "just surviving the week".

I’m Marissa,
I help neurodivergent women experiencing chronic anxiety, overwhelm, and burnout find peace, feel confident, and cultivate more ease in their lives.

My approach is neurodiversity-affirming, strengths-based, and rooted in the belief that your worth is inherent — not earned.

As a neurodivergent therapist, you won't have to waste energy trying to convince me that your experience is real. I get it. I offer a safe space to take off the mask, let go of the shame, and find true healing.

How I work...

There’s no pressure to perform here. ​

You can come in messy, unsure, overwhelmed — and we start there. Right away, you’ll experience the relief of being understood, listened to, and supported.

Sessions move at a pace that allows your nervous system to settle.

 We slow down enough to notice what’s happening beneath the surface — the tension in your body, the “I should…” loop in your mind, the pattern that keeps replaying in your relationships. I help you put language to experiences that may have felt confusing or hard to name.

You won’t be handed generic coping skills or told to push through discomfort.

Instead, we’ll gently untangle the internal pressure you’ve been carrying for years. We’ll explore the places where you’ve learned to override yourself, and begin building a different relationship with your needs.

​Exploring Possible Neurodivergence 

Here's the thing...

01
​You are not broken.

​You are not a problem to be fixed. Many of the struggles you experience come from years of masking, external pressure, and environments that didn’t support how you’re wired.

02
Your nervous system matters.

Chronic anxiety, overwhelm, and burnout are often signs of a nervous system that has been under strain for too long. Slowing down and creating regulation is an essential part of healing. Neurodivergent nervous systems are often highly sensitive. Exploring your sensory needs and helpful supports are an important part of learning to regulate.

03
​Authenticity is more important than performance.

Therapy should be a space where you don’t have to mask, perform, or prove yourself. Real healing happens when you can show up honestly and be met with acceptance.

04
​​​Healing comes from connection not pressure.

Lasting change doesn’t come from trying harder. It comes from being understood, gaining clarity about your patterns, listening to your body, and learning to relate to yourself with more compassion.

You deserve support that honors how you're actually wired.
