Prenatal and postpartum therapists & psychiatrists in Irving, TX

Hi, I’m Marilia. I offer therapy in English, Spanish, and Portuguese, and I strive to create a calm, welcoming space where you feel heard and respected. I help clients work through anxiety, depression, relationship stress, life changes, and emotional pain. My goal is to help you feel less alone, better understood, and more supported as you take steps toward healing.

I believe therapy is most effective when you feel genuinely seen, understood, and supported. My goal is to create a space where you can be yourself without fear of judgment while also challenging patterns that may no longer serve you. I work with adults experiencing anxiety, burnout, attachment wounds, difficulty setting boundaries, and the lasting impact of childhood experiences. Together, we'll explore how these patterns developed, strengthen your self-understanding, and build practical skills that support meaningful, lasting change.

I earned my Master's degree in Counseling, am a Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor (LPC-S) and Certified EMDR Therapist. I use evidence-based approaches, like EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), along with other therapeutic interventions tailored to each client's unique needs. My work is informed by attachment theory and trauma-trained principles. I also provide therapy in both English and Spanish.

I believe that healing is not a one size fits all process. Every person arrives with a unique story, a distinct set of strengths, and their own way of making meaning in the world. I honor that individuality as I provide a therapeutic space where clients feel seen, supported, and empowered to grow at a pace that feels authentic to them. I believe in helping people and not fixing them because people aren't broken.

You may be the person everyone counts on, but that does not mean you are built to carry everything alone

You deserve to feel human, not just functional. You can be competent, capable, and still need help. Those things aren't in conflict.

I work with busy professionals, exhausted parents, healthcare professionals, and LGBTQ+ individuals, who look "fine" but feel lonely, resentful, or stuck in survival mode. You want life to work without running on stress and guilt. Together we'll identify what's draining you and build practical boundaries, routines, and skills that calm your nervous system, protect your energy, and make daily life feel manageable and yours again.
