Hi, I'm Marilu (she/her/ella). I'm a first-generation Mexican-American therapist from Los Angeles. For over 10 years, I’ve been walking alongside individuals, couples, and families as they navigate life’s challenges and reconnect with themselves and their loved ones.

   I hold a Master of Science in Counseling Psychology with a focus on Marriage and Family Therapy from Mount Saint Mary’s University, and I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in the states of California and Texas (LMFT CA 147099 & TX 205901).

  As my client, I provide trauma-informed and culturally responsive care, centering your voice, your values, and your healing. Whether you are working to rebuild trust with your partner, set boundaries with family, strengthen your connection with your kids, or move through the perinatal journey, I offer supportive care through both individual and couples therapy, including dedicated support for postpartum experiences such as anxiety and depression, meeting you with kindness and real talk every step of the way.

   My belief as a therapist is that everyone deserves a safe and supportive space to heal and grow, and I'm here to provide that for you. I offer virtual therapy to folks across Texas and California, so wherever you are, we can connect. And, while I'm based in Austin, Texas, my virtual practice means I can reach you wherever you are in those states. Let's work together to create positive change in your life.

*Limited in-person therapy sessions are available.
