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.

Many people come to therapy feeling stuck, whether that’s navigating the dating landscape, relationship dynamics, identity exploration, or patterns that no longer serve them. You might be wondering how to show up as your authentic self, how to build deeper connections, or how to navigate intimacy and vulnerability in a world that doesn’t make space for who you are. Therapy can be a place to slow down, reflect, and create new possibilities.

Tracey Kiernan
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, AMFT
You don’t have to keep holding it all together on your own.
I offer online therapy for women and couples who look like they’re managing life well on the outside—but internally feel overwhelmed, anxious, disconnected, or not quite like themselves. Many of my clients are navigating high-functioning anxiety, perfectionism, people-pleasing, relationship struggles, and major life transitions, including perimenopause.
Virtual therapy with me is not a watered-down version of in-person work—it’s focused, effective, and designed to create real change. From the comfort of your own space, we’ll work to help you feel more grounded in your body, clearer in your mind, and more connected in your relationships.
If you’re in a relationship, online sessions can help you break out of repeating conflict cycles, better understand what’s happening beneath the surface, and rebuild connection—even if things have felt stuck for a long time.
My approach blends practical tools with deeper, insight-oriented work. We focus first on regulation—so you’re not just talking about your life, you’re actually able to shift how you experience it.
Online therapy offers flexibility, privacy, and accessibility—without sacrificing depth.
If you’re ready for support that goes beyond coping and helps you create meaningful, lasting change, I’d love to work with you.

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.
