Carissa is a registered social worker and the Clinical Director and Co-founder of Dragonfly Child & Family Wellness Centre. She has extensive experience supporting children, teens, adults, and families across community mental health, crisis intervention, outreach, and clinical counselling settings. Much of Carissa’s background has involved supporting youth and families navigating complex mental health concerns, high-risk situations, and systems involvement. Her experience continues to shape her collaborative and practical approach to care.

Carissa has a special interest in complex and overlapping mental health presentations, including OCD, emotional dysregulation, family conflict, and parent-teen relationships. She values parent involvement and works to help caregivers better understand and support their child or teen throughout the therapeutic process. Clients often describe Carissa’s approach as calm, compassionate, and down-to-earth, while also being clear, direct, and practical in helping families move toward meaningful change.
