Marisa

Hello there! I am a certified school counselor and LPC-Associate. My background is in education. I worked as a special-ed teacher for many years before becoming a school counselor. I have experience helping youth increase their capabilities socially, emotionally and academically. I help children learn healthy coping strategies to navigate everyday life, including challenges they may face at school. I help navigate big feelings with emotional regulation strategies, play therapy techniques, and art making.  

 

I feel passionate about supporting parents and caregivers who may struggle with their child’s behavior at home or at school. I specialize in responsive parenting style. I am also a mother of two and a native midwesterner. I am an animal lover, book reader, nature enthusiast, and vinyl record collector.

 

I have current in-person after-school availability for children, adolescents and parents. I look forward to connecting!
