- LCSW
I'm Mariana — a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and EMDR-trained therapist.
I grew up in a bilingual Latino household where two worlds, two languages, and two sets of expectations lived side by side. I know what it feels like to navigate between them.
I lived and worked in Madrid, Spain which deepened my understanding of what it means to be "between" — between cultures, between the life you came from and the life you're building. That experience lives in my work every day.
I believe the threshold — the in-between — is not empty. It's full of possibility. My job is to help you cross it with clarity, courage, and a lot less weight on your shoulders.
With over eight years of clinical experience and specialized training in EMDR, I work with individuals and couples navigating trauma, burnout, life transitions, relationship ruptures, and identity questions.
I bring deep cultural curiosity to every session — because who you are in full is what belongs in the room.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
