Liza Roth, MA, LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
When we're young, we think of life transitions as exciting... uncharted terrain. It's not until we are in them that we realize they can be difficult and disorienting. Life as we knew it is changing and sometimes we're so busy with the logistics of the transition that rarely do we sit and feel the emotions that go along with this big shift as it's happening. Let me help you process what's happening so you can make sense of the changes to come.

Dr. Michael Marossy
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Major life transitions can create uncertainty, emotional stress, and a loss of stability even when the changes themselves are positive or expected. Transitions related to career changes, relationships, marriage, parenthood, relocation, identity development, spiritual change, aging, or shifting life roles can leave people feeling overwhelmed, emotionally stuck, or uncertain about who they are and how to move forward.
Therapy can provide support and clarity during periods of transition by helping clients process difficult emotions, navigate uncertainty, strengthen coping skills, and better understand the deeper personal and relational themes emerging during times of change. My approach focuses on helping clients move through transitions with greater self-awareness, resilience, and intentionality.

Debbie Cherry
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Major transitions can expose relationship patterns that were easier to manage when life was more predictable. Moving in together in San Francisco, relocating to Los Angeles, getting engaged, becoming parents, changing careers, or entering a new stage of marriage can all require couples to renegotiate how they operate as a team. I help couples navigate these transitions intentionally so change becomes an opportunity to strengthen the partnership rather than simply something to survive.

Danielle Esses
Psychologist, PsyD
Periods of change—even positive ones—can bring uncertainty, anxiety, or a sense of losing your footing. Therapy focuses on helping you make sense of what’s shifting, stay grounded through the transition, and move forward in a way that feels intentional rather than reactive.
