Kristin Robert
Marriage and Family Therapist, AMFT
I came to this work through a deep respect for the complexity of human experience and the ways people adapt in order to survive. Over the years, I have seen how pain, loss, and conflict can quietly shape a person’s inner world, often long before they have language for it. I am continually moved by the courage it takes to look at these experiences honestly and to ask for support when something no longer feels sustainable.
What draws me to this work is the opportunity to sit with people at meaningful crossroads in their lives. I value conversations that are real, reflective, and grounded, and I believe healing happens not through quick answers, but through understanding, presence, and trust built over time. I approach therapy with curiosity and humility, holding space for complexity rather than certainty.
At a personal level, I believe in accountability without shame, depth without intensity for its own sake, and care that respects autonomy. 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.

Tracy Sachs (Singh)
Therapist, MA, AMFT
I am passionate about working with twenty and thirty somethings navigate the tumultuous years of young adulthood. These years are often marked by questions of identity, a reckoning of one’s childhood, big life transitions, relationship challenges, feelings of hopelessness and anxiety about the future, and a general sense of feeling lost. These years are also ripe for self-discovery and developing a greater sense of purpose and meaning.
As a depth oriented psychotherapist, I won’t hold these challenges as pathology to be cured but rather as a natural part of the Self’s initiation into greater maturity. I see uncomfortable symptoms, such as depression and anxiety, as wise messengers that can guide us into a more whole and aligned life.

Guzel Safina
Therapist, MA, MS, NCC, LMFT
Sometimes life can look great on the outside, but inside, something just feels off. You might feel a little disconnected, uncertain about your future, or like something is missing, even if everything seems fine to others.
Therapy gives you a space to slow down, check in with yourself, and figure out what really matters. It’s a chance to reflect on what’s going on in your life, get clear on what you want, and find your way forward - without all the pressure. Whether you’re navigating some tough questions or just need someone to talk to, therapy can help you reconnect with yourself and find more balance.

Michelle King Rayfield
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
I believe people come to therapy because they want something in their life to change. That's why I am very conscious of how we set goals, how we set a road map to achieving them, and how we realign if things go off track. I focus my work on relationships, including couples counseling, as well as anxiety, trauma, and life transitions. I am experienced as a Director and Therapist working in addiction and substance use treatment, and my educational background includes a Master’s in Clinical Psychology from Pepperdine University and a Master’s in Education from the University of Southern California. I know it can be hard to navigate through struggles all alone, which is why I find joy in helping others feel supported in finding happiness, success, and fulfillment in life.

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.
