About Merissa

Hi! Thank you for being here. Therapy is a journey, and even being on this page represents a significant step. Whether you’re an individual, couple, polycule, or friendship unit, you have a place in therapy and I’m excited to work with you! My style is relational. That means we will work together to understand the constellation of your relationships, from the one you have with yourself to those you have with others: platonic, romantic, familial, and more.

I specialize in anything that has to do with sex, intimacy, and relationships.  I also sub-specialize in non-monogamy, kink/fetishes, gender identity, and sexual orientation. My approach is sex-positive, non-judgmental, and pleasure-focused. No matter what brought you here, you deserve a space to be authentic and honest, accepted and safe. Therapy is often difficult and vulnerable, as well as tender and joyful. I strive to embrace all of these pieces, so our work together will likely involve a shared smile or two in between the heavier moments.

On the weekends you can find me thrifting, crafting, rock climbing, or attempting to keep my plants alive. I also love spending time with my senior dogs (a pittie mix named Molly and a blue heeler named Abita). I also enjoy visiting family and friends where I used to live: Atlanta and Maryland.
