EMDR Therapy in Vermont
Integrative Healing that lasts.
In-person in White River Junction & online across VT
When what you’ve lived is
still living in you.
You may already know why you Feel the way you do.
You can trace the patterns back. You’ve spent time reflecting, reading, talking, and trying to understand yourself. Or you may just know that something feels stuck, even if you can’t quite explain why. Either way, something still isn’t shifting in the moments that matter most.
An interaction at work suddenly leaves you feeling small and ashamed.
A new relationship brings up anxiety you thought you’d already worked through.
Or a loss — recent or long ago — keeps resurfacing, perhaps because its impact overwhelmed your system at the time.
You might find yourself thinking, “Why is this still happening? I understand this — so why don’t i feel better?”
That question can quietly turn into frustration or hopelessness — not because you haven’t done the work, but because insight alone hasn’t translated into relief.
Therapy doesn’t need to be more analysis or more talking in circles. When healing includes the nervous system, emotions, and mind together, change can begin to feel real — not just understood, but lived.
Please know this:
Your system holds the capacity to resolve What’s unfinished.
You Might be Noticing:
Emotional reactions that feel sudden or overwhelming
Relationship patterns that repeat despite intention and awareness
Understanding your patterns and history but having a hard time changing how you feel and act
Grief or loss that hasn’t fully settled
Ongoing struggles with self-esteem, shame, or a sense of not
being “enough”
A sense that you know what’s happening, but don’t yet feel different
You’re not looking to endlessly analyze yourself.
You’re looking to reach the places where these experiences are actually held.
you’re ready for healing that goes beyond insight alone.
Hi, i’m Marissa.
Together, we’ll work at the roots - not just the surface.
My work is integrative, relational, and grounded in compassionate attention to how experiences are held and lived in the body. I’m present and engaged in the therapeutic process, gently helping clients stay connected to what’s happening internally while also reflecting the larger patterns shaping their experience.
Whether you’re navigating long-standing patterns or moving through grief or loss, my role is to walk alongside you in supporting healing across all levels — so that understanding can begin to settle into something you can truly feel and live.

What it’s like to work with me
HOW emdr is different.
EMDR therapy offers a way to work directly with the nervous system — where emotional responses, grief, and relational patterns live beyond words. My work is informed by polyvagal principles and a parts-aware approach, with close attention to safety, regulation, nervous system capacity, and the needs of different parts throughout the process.
Rather than relying on insight alone, we integrate mind, body, and emotion together. Sessions are collaborative, attuned, and thoughtfully guided. I work in a direct yet caring way, helping you stay connected to your experience while also tracking the larger patterns shaping it.
Many people come to this work knowing something doesn’t feel settled yet, even without a clear story. EMDR helps the nervous system naturally process and integrate experiences, allowing the roots of patterns to emerge as the work unfolds — not through force, but through integration.
because this work matters:
Your inner experience shapes everything else.
Here’s how we begin together.
If this approach resonates, next step is to schedule a consultation call. This is a brief conversation to connect, answer any initial questions, and note anything important you’d like me to know.
From there, we’ll schedule an initial session to explore your experience more fully and see if working together feels like a good fit.
