Meet Karissa

It’s nice to meet you! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and Board Certified Art Therapist licensed in New York and Tennessee.

While finishing my BFA in Chicago, I began exploring the field of Art Therapy. Immediately, I knew that a career as an Art Therapist was the perfect way to combine my passion for art and love of working with people. I went on to receive my Master’s of Education in Counseling and Personal Services with a Concentration in Art Therapy from the University of Louisville.

My professional career has focused on working with youth and adults who have experienced complex trauma, anxiety and depression. I enjoy advocating for the importance of mental health treatment and bringing awareness to the benefits of therapy.

I currently reside in Brooklyn with my husband, children and dog. When I”m not working, I enjoy spending my time painting, doing puzzles and taking hikes with my family.
