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.

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.

Dennis Sapire
Psychologist, JD PhD
My extensive training and years of experience are a strength. My PhD is in Clinical Health Psychology which means I am hospital trained and have specialized training in medical, sexual, and sport psychology as well as general Clinical Psychology. Further study led to an additional certification in Clinical Sexology. Regular attendance at national conventions helps me keep abreast of innovative treatments. My Biofeedback training informs my treatment of stress and anxiety. My background in law and business have been found helpful by many clients coping with crises of retirement and attempting to overcome financial anxiety.

Eve Angela Fritsch
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A.
I have always been fascinated by the human mind and why people think, feel, and behave the way they do. I love helping people better understand themselves and make sense of their experiences.
I work with people struggling with anxiety, trauma, anxious attachment, identity concerns, relationship challenges, narcissistic abuse recovery, and borderline personality disorder. I also support family memebers and loved ones affected by BPD.
I believe therapy should be a place where you feel understood, challenged, and supported. My goal is to help you gain insight, ;earn practical skills, and make changes that improve your relationships, your confidence, and your overall life.
