About Me

Hi, I’m Marili! I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor based in California. My passion is helping adults and couples build meaningful connections and find their path to self-empowerment and growth. I offer fully virtual sessions to clients across California, making therapy accessible and convenient for those I work with. My approach is about the client—client-centered and humanistic. I am trained in EMDR therapy and the primary focus of my work integrates the AIP model and ego state “parts” work to help you understand your current and past experiences. I often educate, integrate strength-based methods, and draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness techniques as needed to support you in reaching your goals. For couples, I bring in Gottman Couples Therapy techniques to foster healthier, more fulfilling relationships. Specializing in trauma and C-PTSD, I offer support for individuals struggling with emotional dysregulation, anxiety, dissociation, and the lasting effects of traumatic experiences. I also specialize in addressing issues of self-worth, relational distress, and enhancing communication skills. Whether navigating difficult relationships or resolving conflicts, I offer a safe, non-judgmental space for you to freely express your thoughts and feelings.
