**Personal Statement**
I am deeply passionate about helping couples find their way back to connection, safety, and genuine partnership. In my work, I use the Gottman Method alongside attachment-based approaches to give couples clear, research-supported tools that strengthen communication and rebuild trust. Having been married for 30 years myself, I bring both professional expertise and real-life understanding to the complex, meaningful work of sustaining long-term love.

Tracy Sachs (Singh)
Therapist, MA, AMFT
You may be struggling in your relationship—caught in recurring conflicts, feeling disconnected, or longing to feel close again. Perhaps you and your partner are navigating a major life transition, trying to rebuild trust, or finding yourselves stuck in patterns you can't seem to change. Or maybe you're coming to therapy on your own, feeling anxious, overwhelmed, disconnected, questioning the direction your life is taking, or carrying grief or experiences that continue to shape you.
Therapy offers a space to slow down and listen more deeply to what is happening beneath the surface. Together, we'll explore not only the challenges that bring you to therapy, but also the underlying patterns, emotions, beliefs, and life experiences that may be shaping them.
My approach is warm, collaborative, and depth-oriented. With couples, I draw especially from attachment theory and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) to help partners understand the deeper patterns beneath conflict, strengthen emotional connection, rebuild trust, and create a more secure and fulfilling relationship. With individuals, I draw from psychodynamic, attachment-based, and depth psychology perspectives to explore recurring patterns, strengthen self-awareness, heal old wounds, and cultivate a more authentic relationship with yourself.
I believe symptoms such as anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or feelings of emptiness often have important stories to tell. Rather than focusing solely on managing symptoms, I help clients understand the deeper roots of their struggles while developing practical ways to create greater balance, resilience, connection, and well-being in daily life.
I provide telehealth therapy for adults and couples throughout California and welcome the opportunity to learn more about what brings you to therapy and whether we may be a good fit to work together.

Kristin Robert
Marriage and Family Therapist, AMFT
At a personal level, I value substance over presentation, meaningful connection over polished appearances, and honesty delivered with care. I am curious about people, loyal in my relationships, and rarely interested in the easy or rehearsed answer. I appreciate intelligence, humor, directness, and the kind of conversation that makes time disappear.
My life has made me attentive to what people carry quietly and to the distance that can exist between how a life appears and how it actually feels. I believe in accountability without shame, depth without intensity for its own sake, and care that respects autonomy. I have a deep respect for the courage it takes to question what we have inherited, live with greater intention, and build something honest from the experiences that have changed us.
I am committed to showing up thoughtfully and consistently, honoring the responsibility that comes with being invited into someone’s inner life. This work matters to me because it offers the possibility of greater clarity, connection, and integrity, both within ourselves and in how we relate to others. I believe there is something quietly powerful about understanding yourself well enough to make choices rooted in truth rather than fear, expectation, or approval.

Elnaz Mayeh (WellBeCounseling)
Marriage and Family Therapist, PhD, LMFT, EMDR Trained
What makes my practice different is the genuine, human connection I bring into the therapy space, along with a direct and honest approach. I’m not here to “fix” you or simply tell you what you want to hear. I’m here to meet you where you are—with warmth, compassion, and without judgment, while also being willing to challenge you when it can help you grow.
My approach is deeply humanistic, which means I see you as a whole person, not just a diagnosis or a set of problems. I create a space where you can be yourself, speak openly, and feel truly seen and understood.
I keep therapy down-to-earth, authentic, and collaborative, while helping you build greater self-awareness and reconnect with your own strength, clarity, and resilience. I’ll listen deeply, ask the hard questions, and offer honest perspective when it’s needed. Because sometimes growth means having someone in your corner who can both support you and gently push you forward.
