Trauma and PTSD therapists & psychiatrists in Encinitas, CA

I work in a collaborative process with older teens (15yrs old and above), couples, and individual adults who are motivated to find their inner voice and know their highest selves. My clients are focused on setting boundaries, assertive and effective communication skills, healthy relationships, self-advocacy, and self-efficacy. My clients are willing to reflect on sessions outside of the therapeutic hour, and are receptive to occasional homework. I am here to meet you halfway.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I believe prioritizing mental health is key to happiness and stability in life. Seeking help can be one of the hardest parts, so congratulations on taking that step! I provide a welcoming environment that is safe, nurturing, and judgment-free.

Hi, I'm Marili!

I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor based in California. I believe true healing happens in the body, not just the mind. As a somatic psychotherapist, I use approaches like EMDR and Brainspotting to help clients heal trauma, make sense of how larger systems have shaped them, and reconnect with who they really are.

As an immigrant, much of who I am has been shaped by the work of belonging to two worlds without fitting neatly into either. I know what it means to want to belong somewhere that doesn't always make space for you and to hold pride in where you come from anyway. That lived experience is the root of my curiosity about people, and it shapes how I sit with clients navigating their own questions of identity, belonging, and worth.

I am skilled in helping adults of all ages heal from trauma. I also help my clients learn how to manage anxiety, including social anxiety, panic, and health anxiety. Beyond healing, I am committed to working with you to discover what matters most to you so you can take clear action and create the life you want.
