Aimen Bukhari
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT 144748, LPCC 18977
You are the one everyone relies on.
The daughter who keeps the peace. The woman who notices everyone's needs before her own. The one who looks like she has it together but lies awake replaying conversations, worries about disappointing people, and feels guilty resting.
I help South Asian and Muslim women struggling with anxiety, burnout, people-pleasing, relationship stress, and family pressure.
You don't have to explain your culture, family dynamics, or faith to me. And if you've been taught that being a good Muslim means endlessly sacrificing yourself, tolerating unhealthy behavior, or carrying everything alone, therapy can help you make sense of those messages while staying connected to your values.
Virtual therapy available throughout California.

Allen Shamon
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I specialize in working with individuals and couples who feel stuck in cycles of disconnection, conflict or emotional distance and are unsure how to repair the bond they once had. Many of the individuals and couples I work with, including LGBTQ+ partners, are navigating betrayal, trauma, attachment injuries, or long standing relational patterns that feel overwhelming or exhausting. I also support individuals whose relationship distress is impacting their mental health, sense of self, or ability to feel secure and connected. My clients are often seeking a deeper sense of emotional safety and connection, and are ready to do the work it takes to heal.
I am an experienced couples therapist who has spent several years working almost exclusively with couples, including LGBTQ+ couples and individuals. I am trained in Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFCT), an evidence-based approach that helps partners understand their attachment needs, identify and break negative cycles, and rebuild emotional connection.
Reaching out for couples or individual therapy can feel vulnerable, especially when things feel tense or uncertain. You don’t have to have all the answers before starting. If you are motivated to better understand your relationship patterns and willing to do the work, therapy can be a powerful place to slow down, reconnect, and create meaningful change together.

Brooke Taylor
Pre-Licensed Professional, MA, AMFT
I specialize in helping people navigate experiences that have fundamentally changed them — a loss, a major transition, a spiritual awakening, or a moment that shifted how they see themselves and the world. These experiences can leave you feeling disoriented, alone, or like you don't quite recognize your own life anymore. You may struggle to trust yourself, express what you need, or feel at home in your own skin. Just know, you are not alone.
Through a trauma-informed, body-centered approach, we'll explore what you've been through and create space to process it with gentleness and honesty. Together, we'll work to rebuild safety in your body through somatic grounding and mindfulness, restore connection to your authentic self through relational processing and creative exercises, and begin weaving what you've learned into a life that reflects who you're becoming — with more clarity, presence, and self-trust.
My style is collaborative, casual, and laid back. I believe you are the expert on your own life, and my goal is to meet you where you're at, offering support that feels genuine and grounded in your pace and process.
If this resonates, I invite you to reach out for a free 20-minute consultation to see how we might begin this work together. Whenever you're ready, reach out.

Jaclyn Epstein-Calvert
Marriage and Family Therapist, MFT
I provide online therapy for adults and parents throughout California who are navigating stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, and the emotional demands of family life. Many of the people I work with are thoughtful, capable individuals who are juggling a lot — careers, parenting, partnerships, and personal growth — and want a space to slow down, reflect, and feel supported.
My approach integrates relational therapy, attachment-based work, and neuroscience-informed practices that help clients better understand their emotional patterns, nervous system responses, and relationships. I have particular expertise supporting parents of neurodivergent children (including ADHD and autism), helping families reduce overwhelm and build more connection and understanding at home.
Therapy with me is collaborative, warm, and practical. Together we work to build insight, strengthen emotional regulation, and create more supportive ways of relating to yourself and the people you care about.

Enlightened Self Family Therapy
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
If you feel highly attuned to others’ emotions, carry a constant sense of overwhelm, or find yourself managing an ongoing inner dialogue, you are not alone. Many of these experiences are shaped by how we’ve learned to survive, adapt, and stay safe.
We offer a space where all parts of you are welcome, especially the ones that have had to work the hardest. Together, we can gently reconnect you to your present moment experience and support you in moving through feelings of overwhelm with care and intention.
If you’re wanting to deepen your connection with your body and learn how to work with sensations rather than against them, we can help. Our approach integrates somatic therapies, including Somatic Experiencing, EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), Brainspotting, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.
We are committed to providing culturally responsive, trauma-informed care that honors your lived experience.
