Hello! I’m Charissa!

Charissa lives in Astoria, OR, and works part-time remotely for the Therapeutic Studio. She currently lives with her partner Chris and her two cats Remus and Arya. She has a master’s in English literature, enjoys reading, writing, playing video games, and hiking through the Oregon coast. She is also a member of a worker-owned cooperative that runs the Blue Scorcher Bakery and Cafe. She loves cooking and baking and is so grateful to have the opportunity to change what working in the food industry looks like.

Charissa is also a graduate student at the University of the Cumberlands and plans on pursuing licensure for clinical mental health counseling. One day, she will be interning and hopefully practicing as a telehealth counselor through TTS as well as performing her admin and social media duties.
