Sandy Kong
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT 119380
I believe that everyone deserves the opportunity to grow at their own individual pace and to let acceptance and safety direct their learning and healing. I operate from a trauma-informed lense & being culturally sensitive. My therapeutic process is to provide the opportunity and space for people to heal and find hope, despite hardships. The best part of being a therapist for me, is being able to be a part of someone’s journey; walking alongside them and empowering them to develop, heal, and grow. I am always so honored and humbled to witness the resilience of people.

Melissa Berschauer
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
In all honesty, finding a therapist you actually click with can be tough. That’s why I keep things warm, fun (yes we laugh), and completely judgment free. As your therapist, my goal is for you to have a place to just be yourself while we work through whatever is causing you stress or discomfort. I bring a mix of genuine empathy and practical, real-world tools to the table, meaning we won’t just talk about what’s going on, we’ll actively collaborate to get you unstuck.
Whether you’re dealing with anxiety/depression, relationship stress (any type of relationship), a major life shift, burnout, perfectionism, confidence issues, trauma, infertility/postpartum struggles, or just want to understand yourself a bit better, I’m here to help you navigate it all.

Layla Ashley Psychotherapy
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Relationships can bring our deepest joy, but they can also surface painful patterns. If you and your partner find yourselves caught in the same arguments, struggling to truly hear one another, or feeling emotionally distant, you’re not alone. Many couples reach a point where communication breaks down and the connection they once felt begins to feel strained or uncertain. Sometimes earlier life experiences, family patterns, or stressors quietly shape the way we relate, making it harder to stay close even when the love is still there.
With more than two decades of experience working with couples, I help partners slow down the cycle of conflict and understand what’s really happening beneath the surface. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and grounded in relational and attachment-based work. I support couples in developing healthier communication, repairing emotional wounds, and building a stronger foundation of trust and intimacy. I’m also particularly attuned to the needs of highly sensitive people and those who want a thoughtful, depth-oriented approach to relationship growth.
Whether you’re preparing for a deeper commitment, working to repair trust after a rupture, or trying to rediscover connection after years together, therapy can offer a meaningful path forward. I also support individuals navigating dating, heartbreak, or relationship transitions. Together we’ll work toward clearer communication, emotional safety, and a relationship that feels more conscious, supportive, and alive.

Micaela Magazzu-Alaman
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
I believe therapy works best when you can show up as a whole person, not a diagnosis or collection of symptoms. My style is warm, curious, collaborative, and down to earth. I value humor, honesty, compassion, and creating a space where you do not have to perform, have everything figured out, or leave important parts of yourself outside the therapy room.
I am especially drawn to working with people who think and feel deeply, experience anxiety or overwhelm, or are searching for a more sustainable way of moving through life. I want to understand what you are struggling with, but also who you are, what matters to you, what has shaped you, and what your mind and body may be communicating about what you need.
There is room in therapy for the personal and the political, for grief and anger, for relationships and identity, and for conversations about work, community, nature, oppressive systems, social conditions, and the world around us. My hope is to help you build a deeper relationship with yourself and create a life that feels more connected, intentional, and genuinely yours.

My Role as Your Therapist
As your therapist, I serve as a compassionate witness, a steady source of support, and a guide. I bring over 23 years of clinical experience to our sessions, blending a soft, accepting environment with a direct, strength-based perspective. Together, we will work collaboratively to help you:
Develop a deeper sense of self-awareness
Navigate difficult life transitions and stress
Learn practical, evidence-based coping skills
Create the fulfilling life and relationships you desire
My Goals for Your Healing Journey
My primary goal is to help you uncover your true potential and lead a life that is worth celebrating. While we cannot change the difficult situations of your past, we can absolutely work together to better understand, process, and resolve the challenges you face today.
By applying complementary, evidence-based therapy approaches—including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), the Gottman Method, and trauma-informed care—we will identify long-standing behavior patterns or negative perceptions that may be holding you back. Whether you are seeking extra support through a challenging crisis or you are finally ready to move your life or relationship in a brand-new direction, I am here to help you achieve your goals.
