As a granddaughter of Holocaust survivors, Marissa works carefully and thoughtfully with clients navigating intergenerational pain, fear, uncertainty, and pride. She specializes in supporting people with histories of trauma, anxiety, depression, and challenging life experiences.
She creates a safe, supportive space to process emotions, build coping skills, and strengthen self-trust. She believes the relationship between therapist and client is central to healing—and a foundation for building stronger relationships in all areas of life.
Together, she helps clients explore their emotions, clarify what matters most, and make space for self-compassion and growth. Her goal is to help each person become their own best advocate and feel more at peace within themselves.
