Marina Masaki (she/her)

I blend my data science background with couples/relational therapy to identify underlying patterns in your relationships and explore new ways of being. I am a trained Discernment Counselor, helping couples on the brink make clear decisions about the future of their relationships. My approach to therapy is intersectional, collaborative, strengths-based, and anti-oppressive. I create a supportive environment, offering a kink-informed, poly-friendly, and trauma-informed perspective. I tailor my approach to the needs of my clients, blending a number of research-backed modalities: Attachment Based Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Emotionally Focused Therapy, Gottman Couples Therapy, Internal Family Systems (also known as “parts work” or “inner child work”), Mindfulness, and Solution Focused Brief Therapy.

As a woman of color and child of immigrants, I support individuals and families in understanding their experiences within broader systems like families, intimate partnerships, workplace, and society at large. My journey has taken me from analyzing data for Google apps to analyzing patterns in how we connect, love, and grow. Working with me will be unique because of my personal understanding and professional insight. Outside of the therapy office, you'll find me fostering dogs and volunteering at Resilient Hearts Animal Sanctuary. My first visit to the animal sanctuary led to my first fostering experience, which led to the adoption of my chihuahua mix, Cooper!
