Marissa earned both her Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Social Work from Utah State University, along with a minor in Human Development and Family Studies. She has experience working with children, teens, and adults, and hold a special place in her heart for college students navigating big life transitions. Her approach is collaborative, supportive, and centered on helping clients feel truly heard and empowered.

Outside of the therapy room, you will likely find Marissa running, practicing yoga, cooking, watching USU sports, listening to music, or spending time with family.
