EMDRIA Certified

Attachment-Focused EMDR

Parts Work

Karisa is an EMDRIA-approved Certified EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapist. I utilized proven strategies to work with clients in an ethical, uplifting, and professional manner.

Attachment-Focused EMDR (AF-EMDR) for clients whose trauma is rooted in early relationships, emotional neglect, inconsistent caregiving, abuse, or childhood attachment wounds.

AF-EMDR is especially supportive for LGBTQ+ clients, survivors of religious trauma, those healing from shame-based and high-control environments, and anyone whose early relationships shaped limiting beliefs about their worth or identity.

I utilize Parts Work exploration, which is grounded in approaches like Internal Family Systems (IFS) and ego-state therapy. Together, we explore the various parts of yourself to help identify needs, struggles, wounds and use this in EMDR and talk therapy to help address your wants and goals.

We provide gender-affirming letters for transgender, nonbinary, and gender-nonconforming clients who need documentation for medical care, surgery, HRT, name or gender marker changes, or insurance requirements.

Our approach is respectful, affirming, and collaborative. Our role is to support you, understand your goals, and provide the documentation you need with dignity and compassion.

Insurance-Compliant & WPATH-Aligned

Letters are written to meet the standards required by: WPATH Standards of Care, Insurance companies, Medical providers and surgical teams, and State and federal requirements

Quick, Supportive, No Gatekeeping

We aim to keep the process as simple and empowering as possible. If you’re already in therapy with me, we can integrate your goals directly into our work. If you only need an assessment and letter, we offer dedicated gender-affirming letter sessions that are focused, respectful, and efficient.

If you have questions about what you need for your insurance or medical team, I’m here to help you navigate the process.

We provide neurodivergent-affirming therapy for Autistic, ADHD, and AuDHD clients.

We recognize the strengths, sensory needs, communication styles, and processing differences that are part of being neurodivergent.

We will work on coping and life skills to help you reach your personal goals that align with your values and lifestyle while honoring the way your mind and body work. This space is for you to feel understood, accepted, and supported—exactly as you are.

We offer traditional talk therapy to help you work through challenges such as anxiety, depression, trauma, shame, parts work, communication issues, and boundary-setting. Our sessions create space for reflection, insight, and emotional processing in a supportive, nonjudgmental environment.

We take a collaborative approach, often providing optional “homework” to help you apply what we explore in therapy to your daily life. This may include worksheets, journal prompts, books, podcasts, or videos tailored to your goals. Together, we build tools and strategies that support your healing both inside and outside the therapy room.
