Have you reached a point where you’re tired of holding everything together while quietly feeling overwhelmed inside? Many of the individuals I work with struggle with anxiety, overthinking, people pleasing, relationship stress, and major life transitions while trying to balance family, cultural, or personal expectations. You may appear fine on the outside, yet internally feel emotionally drained, stuck in unhealthy patterns, or disconnected from your own needs. Therapy can be a space to slow down, better understand yourself, build healthier boundaries, and feel more grounded and confident in your relationships and daily life.

As a cis male that identifies as Latinx and as a proud member of the LGBTQIA community, I am able to hold the experience of living in many diverse, cross-cultural emotional experiences that we sometimes may not even know how to begin to understand.
I offer many modalities of therapy and I have worked with all age groups from children/adolescence, adults, geriatric, groups, and couples as well. I have also worked with not only a range of communities but have worked in community mental health providing intensive case management to clients with severe and persistent mental health illnesses.

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.

Many of us carry emotions that feel too big, too heavy, or too confusing to navigate alone. You or your child may be trying your best, yet still feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or unsure how to express what’s happening inside. You might be feeling lost—uncertain about who you are, where you’re going, or how to reconnect with yourself. My hope is to offer you a space where you can slow down, breathe, and feel genuinely seen. With roots in both East Asia and the US, I understand what it means to move between cultures, identities, and expectations.

Hi! My name is Jill Jackson. I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. As a therapist, I try to hold a person’s experience and how that experience has been impacted by their context, be it related to culture, age, language, gender, sexuality, religion, and/or other factors. I also support people to think about how they make meaning out of the things they have experienced and then use that meaning to move through and create the life they are living or want to live. As partners in the therapeutic process, we will hopefully dive into understanding your story and making meaning of that story over time.
