My name is Mari, and I am a bridge between cultures, between generations, between who you are now and who you long to be.
Supervised by Dr. Vanessa Isetta, Lic. #PSY20941
As a bilingual, bicultural therapist and mother, my approach to therapy is shaped by my values and lived experience. I believe in people’s capacity to change. I meet my clients where they are, in the middle of the stress, the anger, the fear. I listen, but I don’t just sit and nod. I roll up my sleeves and get to work, because you deserve to do more than just survive.
I’m also here to help you thrive
As a certified CliftonStrengths specialist, I bring both heart and strategy to this work. I hold a master’s degree in psychology and have spent over a decade in corporate HR, advocating for employee rights, fair pay, and better healthcare. That work taught me something simple and profound: our jobs are rarely just jobs. They’re tied to our sense of self-worth, our relationships, our survival. And when we’re unhappy at work, it drains more than our energy. It affects our health, our homes, and our hope.
