It is easy to feel overwhelmed and lose one's sense of True North. Issues and experiences from the past may require healing and integration. Current challenges may require more inner wisdom and resourcefulness than we can access on our own. Many people need support to resolve conflicts, deepen connections and expand their lives. Relationships require a solid sense of self, good boundaries, and compassion toward oneself and others, which all can be learned. Even without a religious affiliation, spiritual practices such as gratitude are often enriching. I value new insights, suggest homework and teach practical skills.

Life can be incredibly challenging, and it’s easy to feel overwhelmed, exhausted, anxious, or hopeless. These emotions can sometimes lead us to act in ways that don’t align with who we want to be. Therapy provides the tools to help you thrive (or, when necessary, survive) and offers a supportive space where you can feel accepted and empowered. It also helps you gain better self-understanding, stay present during tough times, and nurture more positive emotions.

It can be exhausting as a parent seeing your child suffering and feeling like you just don’t know what to do or say. Many families reach out for support after struggling alone through weeks or months where every day feels like a constant uphill battle. Reaching out to a therapist is not easy. Regardless of the reason, calling a stranger to ask for help can feel intimidating. I would like to take a moment to reassure you that this first step is often the hardest, but it does get easier. I offer a safe non-judgmental space to talk about the difficulties you and your child have been experiencing and begin taking steps forward together.

Many of my clients share a need to explore familial relationships to understand their behavioral patterns and how to make those patterns healthier. Others struggle with anxiety or depression and wish to learn coping skills to better handle the challenges of daily life. Additionally, I have worked with Princeton undergraduate and graduate students for many years and understand well the many and varied challenges which students may face.

I have 23 years of training and experience working with adults who struggle with low self-esteem, imposter syndrome, anxiety, depression, bipolar, and anger. I'm also very experienced with clients working on transitions such as going to college, new job, marriage, starting a family, a divorce, or coping with a past or recent trauma. I've worked for many years in drug treatment too. I think clients are looking for a way to gain insight and awareness of how challenges effect their thinking, and want to learn new skills to improve how they feel and function in the world.

Therapy can be a richly rewarding process. Most important to its success is first establishing a non-judgmental, collaborative relationship so together we can identify and flexibly address your particular needs. From there our work may include identifying familiar patterned behaviors and learning specific coping and problem solving skills to allow for new ways to relate to yourself, to others, to strengthen your mind, and deepen your emotional resilience. Our work will draw on a combination of treatment modalities including short-term solution-focused practices, mindfulness, and neurobiological understandings.

As a psychologist, I appreciate the opportunity to witness peoples’ capacity for not only surviving, but also thriving in today’s complicated world. My experience over the past decade has brought me to understand the many ways a therapist’s role is akin to that of a gardener tending to a lotus. Just as the young lotus needs tender care and stillness, I provide a safe, nurturing and collaborative environment. Respecting the lotus’s need for sunlight, I approach therapy with warmth, openness and humor. As a Confucian scholar once said, “I love the lotus because while growing from mud, it is unstained.”

Offering in-person and virtual sessions! I come with a curiosity about attachment and early stages of development. My treatment approach is to help restore connection to yourself and your relationships through psychodynamic and trauma-informed therapies. Many people share how their negative beliefs and emotional discomfort can “feel stuck” in their mind and nervous system. I work with clients to resolve present day problems and longstanding patterns in their lives (anxiety, phobias, PTSD, Depression and so on.) through the integration of mind, body and brain processing techniques.

I believe in a whole person approach to wellness and that ones mental health is significantly important to overall health and wellbeing. I use a collaborative approach with clients to help develop the resources, tools, and skills, they need to overcome life's challenges. I enjoy providing my clients with immediate strategies to improve functioning and focus on symptom reduction/management. I know that my clients are the experts on themselves and I will work with them to leverage that knowledge to tailor treatment to each individual I am working with.

Mariana utilizes a diverse, empathetic and holistic approach when working with you. The first therapeutic session is an opportunity to get to know you better, understand your concerns, explore your strengths and what you are looking to achieve within this work. The ideal person who comes to see her is someone who identifies as BIPOC, is ready to explore doing inner work, willing to be held accountable, and willing to be present with their vulnerability within a safe space.

Many of us struggle with everyday stressors.

I offer psychotherapy for individuals, couples and families with a strengths-based approach, aimed at making clients feel engaged and vested in their treatment process. Through self reflection and collaborative efforts, I work with clients to balance these life stressors and make them more manageable.
