Liza Roth, MA, LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
Therapy is my second career act in life. Prior to becoming a therapist, I worked in Bay Area tech finance for 20 years. I found myself in my early 40s burned out and unable to just "get it together." It was through my own therapy journey that I was finally able to hear my own voice. I'd love to help you find yours.

I’m deeply passionate about creating a space where people feel truly seen, heard, and supported as they navigate life’s challenges. What sets my work apart is my ability to meet you with both empathy and practical guidance - helping you not only process your experiences, but also build real tools for change. My background across clinical, behavioral, and experiential settings has shaped a flexible, intuitive approach that honors your unique story and pace. If you’re looking for a therapist who will walk alongside you with warmth, honesty, and intention, I’d be honored to support you in taking that next step.

Melanie Goetz
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
You’ve spent years being the strong one—the helper, the steady presence, the one who keeps it together while carrying so much inside.
Lately, maybe your body feels tense, your heart heavy, and your relationships harder than they should be. You may long for rest, connection, or simply someone who truly understands.
Therapy with me isn’t about “fixing” you. It’s about creating space to listen to the parts of you that have been silenced, to heal old wounds, and to finally feel safe being your fully authentic self.
If you’re ready to stop overextending, quiet the inner critic, and begin living with more ease and authenticity—I would be honored to walk alongside you.
🌿 Let’s start from the roots, and grow upward—together.
At our core, we are all motivated by a desire to connect—both with others and with ourselves in ways that feel honoring. But often, in our upbringing, we learned “rules” for connection that no longer serve us in our friendships, families, or intimate relationships. My work is about helping you recognize those patterns and move toward earned-secure attachment, so your connections can feel mutual, safe, and deeply nourishing.
If this resonates, I invite you to schedule a brief, complimentary 15-minute phone consultation. It’s a chance to see if my presence and approach might be the right support for your journey. You can schedule directly here: melanie-goetz.clientsecure.me

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.
