Hi!
It's a chaotic, confusing, upside-down world out there sometimes. There's a better, happier and more fulfilling life available to you.
​
My trauma informed approach -- drawing from Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Transpersonal Psychology, Positive Psychology, Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Somatic approaches -- helps untangle your story. My approach is holistic and embraces the physical, mental, energetic, emotional, and spiritual dimensions of your experience, paving the way for transformational healing. We'll deep dive into the patterns and behaviors that rule your life, shift core beliefs, and lean into strategies for transformational change.
​
If you're new to therapy, feeling stuck with traditional therapies, or unsure about digging up the past - I'm here to make it feel safe and help you see life from a different lens.

When I first came to Morrika I was at the lowest point I’d ever been in my relationship with my family, and undiagnosed anxiety was damaging my personal relationships. She helped me take a hard look at my role in those relationships and through EMDR and other methods, we peeled back the layers that I had built up since childhood that were making me anxious and getting in the way of who I wanted to be. I’ve been seeing Morrika for over 2 years now and feel more in tune with what my emotions are telling me and how to navigate them. My relationship with my family is on its way to being a new version of good. I’ve learned how to navigate anxiety through mindfulness and meditation. I feel like I’m in the driver’s seat of my own life now and constantly getting closer to who I want to be. - previous client
Morrika has truly found her calling as a therapist and her clients are better off for it! I’ve been in therapy for over 20 years for a combination of childhood and military trauma. I’ve tried all of the methods with very little relief. I switched to Morrika with little hope of a breakthrough. We immediately began EMDR, though I had previously tried it to no avail. Morrika’s version and process took TWO sessions to desensitize me to a military trauma that has haunted me for over 20 years! It feels absolutely amazing to not be constantly triggered in conversations and while watching tv. I’m also very sensitive and usually don’t take constructive criticism well. Morrika speaks plainly and honestly, telling me what I need to hear without being unnecessarily harsh or critical. I can’t recommend Morrika or her services enough. Some people are lucky enough to find what they are meant to do and Morrika definitely has. Give yourself a chance to heal and find the peace you deserve by hiring her. - previous client
Six months ago I was recommended to Morrika by a dear friend of mine. I was at the lowest point of my life and I was considering the unthinkable! Once I started working with Morrika, I felt my life change for the better. The EMDR therapy was AMAZING and she is an INCREDIBLE guide through the process. I can honestly say that Morrika saved my life and helped me to recreate a reality that is wonderful to live in. - previous client
