Jaclyn Epstein-Calvert
Marriage and Family Therapist, MFT
I believe that therapy is most powerful when it feels human, collaborative, and grounded in real life. My work is guided by a deep respect for the complexity of people’s experiences and the relationships that shape us. I am especially passionate about supporting adults and parents as they navigate stress, identity shifts, and the emotional challenges that often come with family life.
With a background in both education and psychotherapy, I bring a developmental and neuroscience-informed lens to my work, helping clients better understand their emotional patterns and nervous system responses. My goal is to create a space where people feel genuinely understood, supported, and empowered to move toward greater clarity, connection, and resilience.

Psychoanalytic
Dr. Joshua A. Goldstein
Psychologist, Psy.D.
So, you're dealing with life's transitions, but it manifests as anxiety, depression, relationship issues, or lowered self-esteem. These may be diagnoses, but you're so much more than that. You are who you are because of your experiences, which means you already have the tools and ability to move yourself forward. You just don’t know it yet.
Finding the right therapist can be a daunting process and I want to build that unique relationship with you. I work from an insight-oriented perspective and focus on the connections between your childhood experiences and current circumstances. Those early experiences laid the groundwork and can provide blueprints to addressing the issues you're currently facing.
The difficulty can be uncovering those blueprints and it’s my job to help you discover them.

Tracy Sachs (Singh)
Therapist, MA, AMFT
You may be successful in many areas of your life and yet find yourself struggling internally. Perhaps you're feeling anxious, overwhelmed, disconnected, stuck in recurring relationship patterns, or questioning the direction your life is taking. Maybe you're carrying grief, navigating a major transition, or simply sensing that something important is asking for your attention.
Therapy offers a space to slow down and listen more deeply to your experience. Together, we'll explore not only the challenges that bring you to therapy, but also the underlying patterns, emotions, beliefs, and life experiences that may be shaping them. As insight develops, new possibilities for growth and change can emerge.
My approach is warm, collaborative, and depth-oriented. I believe that symptoms such as anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or feelings of emptiness often have important stories to tell. Rather than focusing solely on managing symptoms, I help clients understand the deeper roots of their struggles while developing practical ways to create greater balance, resilience, and well-being in daily life.
Drawing from psychodynamic, attachment-based, and depth psychology perspectives, I support clients in exploring recurring patterns, strengthening self-awareness, healing old wounds, and cultivating a more authentic relationship with themselves.
I provide telehealth therapy for adults throughout California and welcome the opportunity to learn more about what brings you to therapy and whether we may be a good fit to work together.

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.

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.

Viktoria Walda Byczkiewicz, Ph.D.
Pre-Licensed Professional, PhD
Whatever the reason that brings you to psychotherapy at this time, I offer refuge in a confidential and nonjudgmental space where your story will be listened to with sensitivity and care. I am especially passionate about supporting people who are facing transitions: elders, people in midlife, students, artists, thinkers, and my fellow therapists. I am committed to helping couples manage conflict and envision new ways of communicating and being together. I specialize in accompanying you to those interior places that feel difficult, and in revisiting painful experiences that you can talk to no one else about. My practice is founded on our developing an authentic relationship of mutual regard. It will be my privilege to walk alongside you as we confront conflict, distress, and change to move together toward your healing, growth, and greater contentment in life. Please feel free to contact me for a brief complimentary online consultation.
