Meet Dellissa

I would describe my therapy style as integrative, collaborative, and eclectic. I meet clients where they are and work together to identify goals for their empowerment journey. I integrate various modalities, including expressive arts therapy, psychodynamic therapy, and internal family systems, to address each person’s needs holistically. My goal is to create an affirming, safe, authentic, and nonjudgmental space where you feel comfortable exploring the therapeutic process. Therapy can feel overwhelming, so being able to fully express yourself is vital to healing.

I meet clients where they are and work together to identify goals for their empowerment journey.
