You’re here because

Things look “good” on the outside,
but you’re feeling stuck on the inside.

You want to “do better” but you’re not sure where to start.

You recognize your success; yet you have a nagging sense of dissatisfaction.

You worry that you’ve lost yourself along the way, and that if people knew the real you, they’d judge you or see you differently. What if they knew….

  • You wonder if you can really deal with everything on your plate and you’re scared that maybe one day you’ll drop the ball and something bad will happen. Your worries are starting to show up as irritability in your relationships or at work, but you don’t know how to get a handle on it.

    These could be signs of anxiety.

  • At family gatherings and social get-togethers, you’re trying your best to smile and engage, but feel like you can’t really share what’s going on with you. It’s like you’re wearing a social mask. You feel yourself pulling away and wanting to be alone more and more.

    These could be signs of depression.

  • Life hasn’t been easy for you but that’s not something that is easy to talk about. You’ve been through or seen some really difficult or even scary moments and it’s still haunting you, but you feel like it wouldn’t be socially appropriate or safe to talk about it. You may even start to feel detached from what’s happening around you.

    These could be signs of trauma.

  • It feels like there is a bigger and bigger disconnect between values you grew up with and the worldview and identity you’ve developed. How can you even start reconciling the two or talking with your loved ones about what’s important to you now. This may be impacting your relationships with your partner, parents or siblings, it may be impacting your parenting, or your self-image.

    This may indicate a need for additional support as you navigate changes in your life.

Hi. I’m dr. martÍnez.

I take a straight forward approach to therapy, and believe our lives are enriched when we broaden our ambit and embrace our potential.

Let’s be real, you probably didn’t think you’d be at the point of talking to a stranger about your life. Maybe you’ve read up on some things or tiptoed around conversations, or listened to podcasts on your commute, but nothing is quite giving you what you’re looking for. You’re at your wit’s end,  so you figure you may as well see what this therapy thing is all about. Life has to feel more fulfilling than this, right?  

There are so many contributing factors to our health and well-being, and successful therapy requires openness to exploration of these factors. I can be the one you turn to when you feel like your only choices right now are to scream into the void or to keep stuffing parts of yourself deep, deep within. 

I’m a bilingual and bicultural Latina. I approach each interaction with collaboration in mind and will be an actively engaged partner in your journey.  I tailor my knowledge of evidenced-based approaches to meet the specific needs of my clients struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, or parenting issues. I work best with bright, motivated, insightful folks who are struggling to make sense of how they can enjoy reciprocal relationships and get unstuck in life while being true to themselves and their values.  Together, we can create a space where you can finally be yourself, take the time to explore the fullness of your thoughts, experiences and values, learn how to choose differently and be genuine in your relationships.

  • Re-evaluate:

    Identify areas of stress and worry and choose healthier ways of coping so you can be fully present in your relationships.

  • Reconnect: 

    Learn how to identify the stumbling blocks to your joy and build your capacity to enjoy the life you lead.

  • Rediscover:

    Integrate your past experiences and unblock your true self in the present
