Hi, I'm Carissa.
I'm here for you. I specialize in helping women learn to use radical self love to heal from burnout, compassion fatigue, and trauma.
I'm a licensed therapist with an expertise in trauma therapy, a certified EMDR therapist and consultant, and someone who has gone on her own healing journey. I've waded through the mire of my own fear and vulnerability and I have experienced burnout and struggle as a business owner. I've been in the trenches, and I get it. I also know what it takes to create change. I will bring my arsenal of skills to help you heal what blocks you, take action to create a bigger life, and feel joy in being a business owner. I will use warmth, curiosity, and gentle persistence to help you reach your goals. A joyful life is possible.I offer small group coaching and one-on-one therapy to help you heal what gets in the way and learn the art of joyfully showing up for yourself.
