Couples

All relationships go through difficult times. It’s safe if yours has become hard too, whether you’re going through a sharp rift or just a rough patch.

This is a journey of discovery.

You may carry this feeling. It may be barely noticeable, or loud and in that way crushing... even unbearable at times. Let your self-hatred sit with us a moment in this post. Let it feel understood, let it feel heard. Let it know that we can even ho
Every part of your experience deserves validation, every part deserves love. Even if your day is ruined, even if life seems ruined, that is okay to feel out slowly and safely. Let the hard wave of emotions come, let the thoughts of ruin rush you. Y

“Tony combines exceptional mastery of the methods of psychotherapy with an outstanding capacity to empathetically connect with clients and create a safe, nonjudgmental space for them."

DR. BARBARA INGRAM. | Psychologist & Pepperdine Graduate Professor, Malibu, CA

As a therapist Tony combines insight with cultural humility to really be present with his clients. I’ve seen Tony support people through incredibly difficult situations and I’d highly recommend him.

If I had two words to describe Tony, it would be radical openness. If you spend time with Tony, you are sure to walk away considering new possibilities for things you once decided had “no way out.” Thank you Tony for your radical openness and the non-judgemental space you willingly provide.

SINAMARIAM DEMSASH AMFT, Los Angeles, CA

I worked with Tony at a county contracted residential treatment center supporting forensic adult males. Tony has an astute ability to guide his clients in developing insight. He thinks outside the box and can easily adapt to anything thrown at him. Tony has great empathy, is easy to work with, and is most of all down to earth.

MELODY GUNADI LCSW, Pasadena, CA

Tony is gifted with insight and empathy, but most importantly he holds a sacred space for unlimited compassion.
