Caressa is passionate about working with individuals in a way that compliments their strengths and supports their growth. She feels that an individual's feelings and experiences are valid and that all individuals deserve to be heard.

She utilizes authenticity and humor in the counseling relationship, providing a safe space for unconstricted self-expression. Caressa takes a trauma-informed and culturally responsive approach. In her free time, Caressa enjoys exploring MN state parks, yoga, watching cringy reality TV, and spending time with her cats.
