Has life convinced you that you're not enough? Do you feel overwhelmed by anxiety, caught in the pressure to meet everyone’s expectations, or stuck in patterns that leave you feeling disconnected from yourself or others? Maybe you’re struggling in your relationships or questioning where you stand spiritually. If you feel exhausted, isolated, or unsure of your path, you don’t have to navigate it alone.

Tech executives and their families - While the Valley is innovative and pays well, ambitious people end up in an always-on environment feeling lonely, anxious & overwhelmed. You feel that you are never good enough. Immigrants & families - Your move to the Bay Area that started as dreams of a better life filled up with conflicts because of acculturation issues and a lost support system. If you have experienced the gifts of psychedelics, the promising pathway to healing the soul. I hope to be able to guide through your journeys and to help them integrate.

You've built an impressive life. The career, the credentials, the relationships that look right on paper. And yet something persists underneath it all: a low-grade exhaustion that doesn't respond to rest, a sense that you're always performing but rarely arriving, or a quiet question you haven't had space to sit with. Many of my clients are high-achieving immigrant and first-generation professionals navigating the intersection of ambition, identity, and the weight of cultural inheritance. Others are accomplished adults who have done surface-level work and are ready to go deeper.

I especially enjoy supporting queer, BIPOC, neurodivergent, and spiritually curious clients who are exploring identity, relational wounds, or seeking connection.
Hi there, I'm Mariru! Starting therapy is a courageous and powerful choice. If you’re looking for a space to slow down, soften, and reconnect with yourself, I’m here to hold that container. Our sessions are a nonjudgmental space where your full self is welcomed with curiosity, not critique. Together, we can explore the patterns and protective strategies that may be keeping you feeling stuck and begin to gently shed light on what’s happening inside. I would be honored to witness your process and accompany you as you build the capacity to be with discomfort, uncover insights, and show up more fully in your life.
