Meet Our Team of Therapists

Hi, you! I’m so glad you’re here.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and Clinical Supervisor to our amazing team of Associate Therapists!

I am passionate about the human experience, and I currently see my mission as empowering others to explore their identity, to discover their authentic selves, and to allow themselves to step into their truth. And I am on this journey of life myself! I am the type of therapist who comes alongside her clients as an equal, not a superior. I see my role as a dedicated partner here to collaborate with you and assist you in uncovering all the layers and parts that make you who you are. 

I want to share a little about who I am so that you get a sense for me as a person, and how interacting with me may feel. I’m not rigid or super structured. I follow my intuition, and because of my life experiences, I am able to connect and empathize with a lot of different people with various backgrounds, values, views, etc. I am married, a mother to two magnificent little humans, a lover of sunshine, and a big fan of audiobooks.

I love therapy. I am invested in continuous evolution and growth. In this work, I will often take a stance of curiosity. I gently invite us to move away from judgment and lean into wondering and understanding. When it makes sense, I share resources with my clients who wish to learn more through books, podcasts, skills, and strategies. I do my best to create an environment that is safe and inviting for clients to explore new ideas, be vulnerable and sometimes messy. 

If it sounds like I’d be a therapist you may enjoy working with, I would love to connect with you to see if we would be a good match. If I am not the therapist for you, I will happily do my best to help you find the right person to work with.

Hi, I’m Maddison! I am an Associate Clinical Social Worker with a passion for working with others to help them feel more empowered and confident. If you feel caught in a cycle of perfectionism, find yourself catering to others' needs, struggle with boundaries, or just feeling lost, I would love to work with you towards your goals. I have had the pleasure of working as a therapist with individuals of all ages and backgrounds, as well as couples, on issues of anxiety, self-esteem, adjustment to major life changes, and difficulty with communication.

As a military spouse, I am no stranger to change and I know how important connection and coping skills can be. I feel honored to work with people navigating the challenges that come with being a military spouse, family member, or anyone who has a lifestyle where they experience frequent change. I am also a former college athlete, and feel very passionately about working with other athletes who experience struggles related to performance anxiety, lack of motivation, and mental blocks related to your sport.

My focus as your therapist is to work collaboratively towards your identified goals, using a compassionate person-centered approach. This is emulated through an unconditional positive regard for you and your experiences, and believing you have the power to make a difference in your life. I also utilize a cognitive behavioral approach (CBT), placing an emphasis on the connection between one’s thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, and how the three are shaped by our past experiences to inform our current perceptions. I have found that using CBT helps clients feel agency in shifting their mindset. My hope is that our work fosters a judgement-free environment where clients feel empowered to work through difficulty and begin the healing process.

In my spare time, I enjoy exploring the outdoors, playing sports, reading, and trying new restaurants. I am excited to be working with the Therapy with Sarah team to bring peace and confidence to clients all across California! Please reach out for your free consultation.

Hi there, I’m so glad you’re here! I prioritize creating relational safety with you where active listening, collaboration, and a touch of humor foster deeper connection. While supporting clients with compassion, I highlight key insights or patterns to encourage growth and integrate body-based practices like breathwork and mindfulness to support healing for the mind, body, and soul.

My therapy approach is rooted in systemic social justice, feminism, and collective liberation, understanding how our relationships and social systems impact our well-being. As a woman of color, I focus on making therapy more inclusive and empowering by using collaborative, client-led methods. I help clients explore the systems and relationships in their lives, supporting long-term healing and growth through a mix of talk therapy, body-based techniques, and intuitive practices.

I have a bachelor’s degree from UC Santa Barbara in Biopsychology and a master’s degree from Alliant International University in couples and family therapy. In my free time, I enjoy reading tarot cards, baking, walking my dog, and drinking matcha.

With me, you will be accepted as you are and all aspects of your identity will be honored in our work together. I would love the opportunity to support you on your journey—feel free to schedule your free consultation today!

Hey, I’m Jessie!

I work with people who have always had to be “the strong one,” the high achievers, overthinkers, and those who learned early on how to survive by holding it all together. Were you the emotional caretaker in your family? Did you learn to people-please, overachieve, and hide your needs? Me too.

Clients often show up with anxiety, burnout, or a sense of disconnection that doesn’t quite match how “together” their life may look on the outside. If you grew up with a childhood marked by emotional neglect, people-pleasing, or parentification, and you’re ready to experience something real, something different, not just more coping skills or platitudes, you’re in the right place.

I specialize in EMDR, Parts Work (IFS-informed), and somatic integration.

What is EMDR Therapy?
It’s kind of like spring cleaning, but for the painful memories your body still holds onto, all done in a gentle, non-traumatizing way.

Not sure what Parts Work/IFS is?
Imagine making space for all the different parts of yourself: the goal-setter, the griever, the scared child, the critic, the organizer, and so on. IFS therapy is like finally sitting down with these parts of ourselves and helping them feel seen and understood. No more self-sabotaging or being your own worst enemy.

Haven’t heard of Somatic Integration before?
Have you ever noticed the tightness in your chest or that never-ending dread in the pit of your stomach? I’ll help you understand and integrate what your body is trying to communicate through these body sensations (no candles or yoga mat required, lol).

If these approaches resonate with you, please know that you are not alone. Clients often tell me how much they look forward to our sessions and how deeply helpful they find this work.

As a therapist, I am warm, relational, kind, and honest. This isn’t just going to be about you talking for 50 minutes, but about us working together in true collaboration. I believe healing doesn’t have to feel clinical, and I’m here to support all the real and messy parts of you: the grief, the stuckness, the anger, the loud inner critic, the shame, and all those in-between feelings when words just aren’t even enough.

My commitment to you is to show up fully for every session. Before becoming a therapist, I spent over a decade in the corporate world, which helps me understand the pace and pressure many of my clients face. I also grew up in a multicultural, blended family outside the United States, and I bring to session a deep respect for diverse cultural identities, backgrounds, and perspectives. I am an ally to the LGBTQIA+ community, gender-affirming, and committed to the belief that Black lives matter and that no human being is illegal.

I also have firsthand experience caregiving through terminal illness and facing profound loss, and death. You don’t need to explain to me why it’s hard, I get it, because I’m part of the bereaved community too (feel free to ask me about my dad anytime). I bring care, curiosity, and a bit of lightness to every session, along with my whole self. 

You deserve that.

I’m so glad you’re here.

Hi, hi! I’m Alex, and I’d love to sit with you as we navigate whatever brought you here. I see therapy as a space where we not only work together but also learn from one another. My goal is to create a space where you feel safe bringing anything and everything to the table—because I know being fully transparent with your therapist can be both challenging and incredibly rewarding. I believe in meeting as equals, so you feel seen, heard, and supported in a way that feels right for you.

I’ll always be honest with you, curious about your perspective, and gently challenging when needed. My approach is rooted in intuition, self-growth, personal reflection, and judgment-free listening, along with practical skills to help you live each day at peace. I’ve always been the one friends, family, and even strangers turn to for a validating ear, and that deep love for connection led me to pursue therapy as a career.

Like I said, our relationship matters—so here’s a little about me to help you decide if we VIBE. I live in Los Angeles but spent most of my 20s in Nashville. I love road trips, music, books, and reality TV. As a new mom, I feel a fresh connection to parents navigating this stage of life. I am also queer identifying and affirming and welcome you with open arms. My background includes working with adults and adolescents in crisis, struggling with addiction, mood disorders, and major depression.

If you feel called to connect, I’d love to schedule a free 30-minute session to see if we’re a good fit. Looking forward to meeting you.
