Hi! I’m Danet Martinez-Ruiz, a licensed psychotherapist from Puerto Rico and the founder of DreamLight Psychotherapy. I bring clinical expertise together with lived experience and cultural insight to offer therapy that’s real, compassionate, and grounded in your truth. I offer sessions in both English and Spanish.
I work with adults (18+) facing anxiety, depression, grief, relationship struggles, and self-esteem concerns. I also specialize in narcissistic abuse recovery, LGBTQ+ identity exploration, and life transitions helping clients set boundaries, break toxic patterns, and reconnect with themselves.
My practice is a safe, affirming space for healing, especially for those who’ve spent too long feeling like they had to be everything for everyone. At DreamLight, I believe healing is possible, even in the darkest moments. Not because we need to erase the pain, but because we learn to sit with it, honor it, and grow from it only when we’re ready. Healing isn’t about forcing a silver lining. Some pain doesn’t come with a lesson and that’s totally fine. We can hold space for what’s real, not just what’s easy. You don’t need to be fixed to be worthy of care.
