About Me

Hi, I’m Carissa — a licensed mental health counselor (Indiana & Ohio), Certified EMDR Therapist and Consultant. I’m passionate about helping anxious teens and adults finally feel calmer in their own heads. Most of my clients have experienced significant loss or traumatic events in their past, and I help them process their emotions, reduce symptoms of PTSD, and develop healthier ways of coping with life’s challenges.

My clients struggle with overthinking, perfectionism, people-pleasing, difficult relationships, guilt, low self-confidence, or feeling disconnected from yourself—wondering why they can’t simply “move on.”

I specialize in helping people like you work through painful experiences, so you can move forward without feeling like your past is controlling your future. Together, we focus on healing from childhood trauma and overcoming limiting beliefs using EMDR.

Maybe you can relate...
-You look like you’ve got it together… but inside you’re anxious, exhausted, or quietly ashamed for struggling.
-Your body is waving red flags (tension, fatigue, stress symptoms) and you’re tired of powering through.
-You’ve spent years people-pleasing, over-achieving, and staying “strong” — and you’re ready to stop shrinking.

I may be a good fit for you if your mind never shuts off and ‘just relax’ has never once worked for you.
