Meet Your Therapist

Collaborative Care Rooted in Respect

Hi, I'm Rizi Timane, LCSW (CA License #85820). As a therapist and advocate, I provide an empowering, non-judgmental virtual space where your authentic identity is honored. Together, we combine your strengths with evidence-based care.

My clinical practice integrates Gottman Method for couples, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and solution-focused therapy tailored specifically to your goals.

My interests outside of work include acting, hiking, singing, Netflix or the cinema, working out at the gym, reading, and traveling once a year for vacation (when lucky enough to do so :-)
