Marissa is a trusted and highly sought-after skincare expert and medical aesthetician in the Hudson Valley, bringing 19 years of hands-on experience to the aesthetic industry. Her career began in 2006 after graduating from the Hudson Valley School of Advanced Aesthetic Skin Care. She quickly launched her path in aesthetics at a top-tier medical spa in midtown Manhattan and has since worked in some of New York City’s most reputable cosmetic surgery centers and medspas.

Known for her genuine and results-driven approach, Marissa combines deep industry knowledge with an intuitive, customized touch. Her dedication to excellence continues to attract loyal clientele from the Hudson Valley to NYC and beyond. She believes no two clients—and no two skins—are the same, and she specializes in tailored treatment plans that deliver noticeable, lasting results.

Marissa holds a degree in science, graduating with honors, and is currently pursuing a nursing degree. She also earned a degree in fitness and wellness, which complements her holistic view of skin health and overall well-being. Her lifelong passion for continuous education is evident in her ongoing quarterly trainings and certifications in the latest technologies and techniques, particularly in laser and energy-based devices.

In addition to her clinical work, Marissa trains for multiple laser companies, providing hands-on instruction to dermatology offices, plastic surgery practices, and medical spas throughout the East Coast and Canada. She is also recognized as one of the leading providers of the DermaV laser throughout North America, offering advanced expertise in vascular treatments and comprehensive skin revitalization. Marissa has had the privilege of training hands-on with some of the leading developers and scientists in laser technology, including Dr. Nikolai Tankovich, further deepening her expertise and insight into cutting-edge aesthetic innovations.

She is an active member of the American Society for Laser Medicine and Surgery (ASLMS) and the Association of Skin Care Professionals (ASCP). Her specialties include anti-aging and corrective skincare using advanced modalities such as chemical peels, Hydrafacials, microneedling, LED therapy, and state-of-the-art laser and radiofrequency technologies.

As spa director of ASM, Marissa not only treats patients but also trains fellow clinicians in best practices for medical-grade treatments. She is well-loved for her honest, compassionate approach, and her commitment to client education—especially her belief that skincare is a lifelong practice, much like fitness or nutrition.

Outside the treatment room, Marissa teaches group fitness classes and stays busy raising her two children, Joshua and Genevieve, alongside her husband, Joshua.
