As a therapist I am here to support you on achieving your goals for therapy. I will always offer a safe, supportive and judgement free environment so that you can begin to heal. I thoroughly enjoy the work I do and find passion in helping others. I believe everyone faces a time in their lives where they require the support of another.
Sometimes taking the first step is the hardest part of a therapeutic journey. We will start where you are ready and work at a pace that feels comfortable for you. Depending upon the reasons that brought you to therapy we will tailor our work to meet your needs, whether that is cognitive behaviourally focused, solution focused or something in between.

I am a generalist practitioner which means I am flexible in treatment styles and treatment focus. I am constantly expanding my knowledge through training courses, conferences, books, research articles, and so forth. I enjoy working with adolescents and adults and I have experience working with children, youth and adults; individually, as a couple or in a family setting.
Many insurance companies offer coverage for my service. I encourage you to contact your provider beforehand to ensure you are covered for my specific service (Social Worker with MSW). Green Shield Canada is the only provider that allows me to direct bill. All other providers require you to pay for your session and submit your receipt for reimbursement.

Clarissa is an incredible therapist. She genuinely cares about your issues, and is not only willing to listen, but does a great job of analyzing your problems, and tries to get to the heart of the matter, so that you can overcome your issues and live a better, higher quality of life. She also gives recommendations as to what you can do in between appointments to help overcome what it is that you focused on in that session. You have to be willing to put the work into that, but 90% of all therapy occurs outside of the office. She's also available to e-mail outside of office hours for questions and

At first I thought Clarissa was great! But now I'm wondering if it was all an act. After she discounted my weekly bill I noticed a steep decline in her attention. When I confronted her she dismissed me with a few sentences and told me to go find somebody else....... She was the first therapist I loved and she crushed me. If you want someone to genuinely care about your life then steer clear of this woman.
