Tracey Kiernan
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, AMFT
You may be finding that things that used to feel manageable no longer do. You’re overthinking more, feeling anxious or on edge, or noticing you’re either reacting quickly or shutting down altogether. You might feel disconnected from yourself, unsure why you feel “off,” or frustrated that you can’t seem to get back to how you used to be. In your relationship, you may be having the same conversations on repeat, feeling unheard, or struggling to stay connected despite your efforts. For many, this is happening alongside a major life shift—like perimenopause, burnout, or changes in identity—that’s hard to fully put into words but deeply felt.
I specialize in working with women and couples navigating high-functioning anxiety, perfectionism, people-pleasing, relationship challenges, and life transitions, including perimenopause. These experiences can impact not only your sense of self, but also how you show up in your relationships, often leading to repeated conflict, emotional distance, or difficulty communicating in a way that actually feels productive.
My approach to therapy is both compassionate and focused. I integrate evidence-based modalities such as ACT, CBT, psychodynamic, Gestalt, somatic, and Gottman-informed couples therapy. We begin by helping you feel more grounded and regulated, so you’re not just talking about your experiences, but are able to work with them in a meaningful way. From there, we explore the underlying patterns driving what you’re experiencing and focus on creating lasting, practical change.
Therapy with me is collaborative, direct, and tailored to you. The goal is not just insight, but helping you feel more like yourself again—clearer, more connected, and better able to navigate your life and relationships.

Inner Compass Psychotherapy
Therapist, Group Practice | Clinical Director: Nora Katz, LCSW
Inner Compass Psychotherapy is a group practice of therapists in San Diego, led by our founder and clinical director, Nora Katz, LCSW. When you reach out, we listen first and then match you with the clinician on our team who fits what you need.
Many people who find us look fine from the outside. They are capable, busy, and good at taking care of everyone else, yet something underneath feels off: anxiety that will not settle, a low mood that lingers, a relationship stuck in the same argument, or a life change that has shaken the ground. We take the time to understand what is actually going on, not just the symptoms. Therapy here is collaborative and unhurried, and it should feel personal from the very first call.
Our team: Nora Katz, LCSW 112300, founder and clinical director; Karina Rivera, Associate Professional Clinical Counselor (APCC 14780); Alyssa Zarske, Associate Marriage and Family Therapist (AMFT 158291); and Nikki Adhami, Associate Clinical Social Worker (ASW 123351). Our associates are supervised by Nora Katz, LCSW 112300. Each of us has our own TherapyTribe profile if you would like to read more.

Zena Caputo
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Many folks I work with reach out because they're tired of being held back by patterns that aren't serving them. Whether you've felt stuck in cycles of anxiety or self-criticism, by unhealthy use of substances or the legacy of past traumatic or distressing experiences, or feeling lost in midlife, moving through life differently is possible. I ground my work in a range of research-informed approaches, including EMDR, to help you improve your well being and connection with others, enhance your self-understanding, and be more present in important areas of life. Please note, I am based in the LA area though occasionally able to provide in-person therapy in the Bay Area, where I lived for 15 years.

Tracy Sachs (Singh)
Therapist, MA, AMFT
You may be struggling in your relationship—caught in recurring conflicts, feeling disconnected, or longing to feel close again. Perhaps you and your partner are navigating a major life transition, trying to rebuild trust, or finding yourselves stuck in patterns you can't seem to change. Or maybe you're coming to therapy on your own, feeling anxious, overwhelmed, disconnected, questioning the direction your life is taking, or carrying grief or experiences that continue to shape you.
Therapy offers a space to slow down and listen more deeply to what is happening beneath the surface. 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.
My approach is warm, collaborative, and depth-oriented. With couples, I draw especially from attachment theory and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) to help partners understand the deeper patterns beneath conflict, strengthen emotional connection, rebuild trust, and create a more secure and fulfilling relationship. With individuals, I draw from psychodynamic, attachment-based, and depth psychology perspectives to explore recurring patterns, strengthen self-awareness, heal old wounds, and cultivate a more authentic relationship with yourself.
I believe 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, connection, and well-being in daily life.
I provide telehealth therapy for adults and couples 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.
