All About Me
Hi, I’m Marilisa—and I’m glad you’re here. If you’re feeling stuck, looping through the same patterns, or sensing there’s more possible for your life, you’re not alone. My role is to stand on the sidelines with you, call out what I see, and help you recognize new options when it’s hard to see them from inside the game.
For nearly 35 years, I’ve worked as a psychotherapist, though my approach has always felt more like coaching. Alongside professional experience, there’s lived experience too. Recovery has been part of my life for over 36 years, and that journey—along with deep familiarity with 12-step work—shapes how I support others. As a Master’s Certified Addiction Professional (MCAP), meditation practitioner, Reiki Master, and certified Herbalist, multiple healing modalities come together to help create movement, clarity, and a sense of possibility when life feels stalled.
This work also extends beyond one-on-one sessions. I co-own a family-run psychotherapy practice that has served the community for over three decades, and through Hemp & Crystals del Soul, I share education around hemp-based products and the everyday use of crystals for healing and balance.
Not every challenge requires medication, though trusted referral sources are available when needed. The heart of this work is holistic—honoring mind, body, spirit, and the wisdom gained through life experience. Learning never stops, and ongoing studies in energy healing and intuitive practices continue to deepen the work offered here.
You’ll also find conversations and insights shared through a podcast available on all major social platforms, as well as opportunities for group presentations. If something here resonates, reach out. This may be the connection that helps you move forward and step into a more limitless life.
