Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, CYT
“I would rather be whole than good.” – Carl Jung
If you’re ready to move beyond performing, pleasing, or simply surviving and step into a more whole, honest version of yourself, I’d be honored to work with you. My approach blends psychodynamic depth, relational therapy, Gestalt awareness, and certified sex therapy to support meaningful, lasting change. I specialize in working with Black and POC adults and couples who want deeper connection, authenticity, and fulfillment. When you’re ready to choose wholeness, I invite you to reach out.

Yukiko K Hartman
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, MS, LPCC, LMHC
Hello! My name is Yukiko. I am a licensed psychotherapist in California and Washington, providing online individual therapy services in English and Japanese. I help adult clients navigate depression, anxiety, relationship challenges, cross-cultural issues, stress management, and career/job-related concerns, with empathy, gentle encouragement, and practical tools. I celebrate diversity and would like to support immigrants, women, and people of color.
I have a special interest in inter-racial couple’s dynamics, focusing on cultural differences and their manifestations within the context of intimacy. I incorporate attachment theory into my therapy and explore childhood experiences with family of origin, aiming to understand underlying psychological patterns and relational dynamics.
As a therapist, I would like to build trust and cultivate a caring and supportive therapeutic relationship with You! We will collaboratively develop treatment goals, prioritizing your needs and desired therapeutic outcomes.
If you are interested in my therapy, feel free to contact me anytime. I would love to hear from you!

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.
If you’d like to explore whether this work might be a good fit, feel free to reach out to schedule a complimentary consultation.
