In Person Therapists in Riverside, CA
As a certified EFT therapist, I specialize in working with couples who have trouble communicating, resolving conflict, or restoring breaches of trust. Sometimes we feel as though our partner is speaking a different language and attempts at connection only leave us feeling more alone. When we lose faith in our partner's ability to meet our needs, we tend to respond by fighting to restore a felt sense of connection or by backing off and avoiding conflict to preserve whatever connection may be left. We might feel that our partner doesn't care for us or that we've somehow failed our partners and that we may never get it right.

I am a licensed marriage and family therapist. My passion for counseling started in 6th grade where I was nominated to be a peer counselor and I saw the power of how communication, active reflective listening and conflict resolution could shift relationships. I grew up in a chaotic household and studying psychology helped me to develop compassion, empathy and understanding where there was profound pain.

Hi, I'm Laz! (he/him/his, MSW, ACSW)
I'm a therapist, multicreative, and social justice worker. I hold a masters in social work from Columbia University in the City of New York, and my practice is grounded in cultural competence, emotional attunement, anti-racism, and a deep respect for your lived experience. I practice radicalized therapy. To me that means we are not broken. It means naming what often gets ignored: that our wounds don't form in a vacuum. We are shaped by systems, institutions, and histories that teach us to produce our way to worthiness and wholeness.

You seem like you’re managing things well, but inside it can feel like overwhelm, disconnection, or exhaustion that doesn’t fully lift. Anxiety may be constant or come in waves, and there may be periods of low mood, shutdown, avoidance, or emotional numbness where it feels hard to access what you’re feeling. These are often learned survival responses shaped by stress, pressure, or past experiences that felt too much at the time. In therapy, we slow things down, make sense of these patterns, and work toward more choice and ease in how you respond.

Our services focus on individuals and couples navigating some of the most painful relational ruptures a person can face, sexual addiction, betrayal trauma, and the aftermath of broken trust. Many come to us feeling ashamed, confused, or deeply alone. Some are partners blindsided by a loved one's compulsive sexual behavior. Others are individuals who've struggled in secret and are finally ready to break free. What they share is a longing for real, lasting change not just symptom relief. Our goal isn't just stabilization. We walk alongside clients toward whole-person transformation: emotional freedom, restored identity, and resilience
