Advent Christian Counseling
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT (R.N.-retired)
What distinguishes my practice is the breadth of perspective I bring — decades in the healing professions, first as a Registered Nurse and subsequently as a counselor — affording me a genuinely holistic understanding of the individuals I serve. My Christian faith and regard for Biblical truth provide the foundation for all that I do, yet I welcome clients of any background who desire growth grounded in traditional values. If you have found that surface-level approaches fall short of what you need, and you seek someone who will thoughtfully and faithfully accompany you through life's more difficult terrain, I would be honored to speak with you.

Sasha Esposito San Roman
Marriage and Family Therapist, MFT
My approach is non-pathologizing, strength-based and solution-focused. I work in a very humanistic, systemic way and often use cognitive-behavioral methods. I keep my client informed as we go…empowering them to “own†what we discover so they can transform the aspects of themselves and their

Aimen Bukhari
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT 144748, LPCC 18977
I help South Asian and Muslim women who feel responsible for everyone else but have no space left for themselves.
From the outside, you may look like you have it together. You are dependable, capable, and the person others turn to when something goes wrong. But privately, you are exhausted. You replay conversations, worry about disappointing people, struggle to say no, and feel guilty slowing down.
Many of my clients carry the weight of family expectations, caregiving roles, cultural pressures, and the belief that their needs should come last. Over time, this can lead to anxiety, burnout, resentment, and feeling disconnected from yourself.
In therapy, we look beyond surface-level coping and explore the patterns underneath, including over-responsibility, people-pleasing, guilt, and long-standing roles you have learned to carry. Together, we create space for your needs, your voice, and a way of living that feels more balanced and sustainable.
I offer private pay telehealth therapy throughout California.

David Sudyka
Marriage and Family Therapist, Marriage & Family Therapist, LMFT, MA
Therapy is a place to talk through what’s been weighing on you and start to understand it a little better. Whether it’s anxiety, depression, trauma, or relationship stress, it can be hard to sort it out on your own.
In our work together, the focus is on helping you make sense of what you’re going through and finding ways to move forward that actually feel doable. I use approaches like EMDR and Gottman-informed therapy, but just as important is having a space where you can be open and feel understood.
You don’t need to have everything figured out to start. We can take it one step at a time and go from there.

Timothy Walker
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Where within you does conflict persist?
Is it in the body, a swirling energy the surges without explanation, keeping you spinning in thought circles and struggling to sleep or relax (ANXIETY)?
Is it in the heart, the whistling emptiness of grief, or the stabbing pain of ruptured relationships, and lost connections (DEPRESSION)?
Is it in the head, thoughts that won’t stop reciting their well worn verses of what-ifs and should-haves (OCD/ADHD)?
Is it in the spirit, an anguish of being, the unknown outnumbering the known to a paralyzing degree, questions of WHY swirling intangible as mist, existential questions, the ground beneath our feet uneven and unsteady (BELIEF/MEANING)?
Is it in all of the above, and in your dreams as well, impacting ability to connect with others, to be still with yourself, to be intimate, to give and receive love, to accept what was, embrace what will be, and surrender to the now (TRAUMA)?

Growth and Change Counseling
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Anxious, addicted, depressed people make decisions in life based on their feelings and they get worse, spiraling downward in emotional chaos and relational isolation. I help Marriages develop the emotional intelligence, relational intelligence, healthy communication, and constructive conflict resolution skills so the couple can rebuild intimacy and thrive!

Russell Wilkie
Marriage and Family Therapist, MFT
Over the past 34 years I have specialized in helping marginalized people heal, evolve, and find their tribe. I’ve spent deep and significant time with: LGBTQIA+, polyamory, sexual kink, sex therapy, and existential depth therapy. I am solution focused, very practical and direct, while also providing deep empathy and understanding. I prefer massive behavior change and strategies over digging into our deep, dark, past issues — we can always figure out the reason for our struggles later. All sessions are now online therapy (tele-health) using video technology.

Adela Stone
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, LPCC
I’m a couples therapist working online across California and Florida. Many couples come to me feeling stuck, unseen, or like they’re speaking different languages. Sometimes there’s neurodivergence (ADHD, autism), past trauma, or years of miscommunication that usual advice doesn’t touch. My style is direct, compassionate, and real—I bring humor, honesty, and respect into sessions while helping you uncover the patterns beneath conflict. I specialize in helping partners reconnect, improve intimacy, and rebuild trust. You don’t have to be perfect or throw away your life together to reclaim closeness and resilience. If you’re ready to move past surface fixes and find a deeper way forward, I’d love to support you in creating a relationship that feels like “us” again.
