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.

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.

Dr. Michael Marossy
Psychologist, Ph.D.
I am a licensed psychologist with a PhD providing therapy for adolescents, adults, and couples in California and Oregon. My approach is warm, collaborative, insight-oriented, and grounded in psychoanalytic/psychodynamic theory. I strive to create a therapeutic relationship where clients feel understood rather than judged, and where difficult emotions and experiences can be explored openly and thoughtfully.
I work with a wide range of concerns including anxiety, mood disorders, trauma, relationship issues, identity concerns, emotional regulation difficulties, and life transitions. I also have experience working with pastors, ministry leaders, and clients seeking therapy that thoughtfully integrates Christian faith and spirituality into the therapeutic process when desired.
I believe therapy is most effective when it helps people move beyond surface-level coping and toward deeper self-understanding, emotional freedom, healthier relationships, and a stronger sense of meaning and direction in life.
