Hi! If you’ve found your way here, you’re likely exploring your identity (gender, sexuality, neurotype). You’re curious about who you are underneath all the roles, expectations, & survival strategies. You might be stuck in patterns that don’t feel like you. Maybe you're feeling overwhelmed or burnt out. You’re probably tired of pretending, tired of feeling like too much, tired of being the “strong one”. Maybe you’ve been masking for so long you’re not even sure who your authentic self is anymore. Or maybe you're starting to figure it out and now you're trying to live that truth in a world that doesn't always feel safe or supportive.

It can be hard to take that first step and I strive to create a safe landing place when you do! My passion is walking with people through challenges towards health. I specialize in trauma and grief, and have specialized training in pregnancy and infant loss. I believe strongly in using body and brain therapies to help people heal more effectively that talk therapy alone through Somatic Experiencing, Internal Family Systems, and Brainspotting. I also bring specialized training to integrate faith and spirituality into the therapeutic process as much or a little as the client prefers for holistic care of heart, mind, and spirit.

I work with adolescents, emerging adults, and adults through the age of 45 who are navigating life transitions on issues related to: anxiety, depression, guilt and shame, low self-esteem, anger management, adjustment to life transitions and/or events, and issues related to stress management, burnout, and vicarious trauma. I bring knowledge of the role that chronic, accumulated and/or traumatic stress plays in a person’s ability to function optimally. Healing is possible and is most effective in a safe and trusting relationship with another and I work to instill this hope in my clients

It is important to have a safe space to express your true feelings and process your experiences in life. Therapy is a perfect space to do that without judgment and at your own pace. There are many different approaches to therapy for each client, and one size does not fit all. I like to use a client-centered approach as I believe in giving the client the agency to feel in control of their therapeutic experience. I use various approaches such as CBT and mindfulness, to create an environment and experience that is individualized and beneficial to the client’s goals and expectations.

I believe that each person is born with incredible strengths that are sometimes buried through their interpretation of life events and personal struggles. We can become anxious, depressed, angry or overwhelmed, while dreaming of the way we really want to live and express ourselves. I can honestly say that each of you has the potential to uncover your true self; to find contentment, self-worth and self-growth. The journey can be rough, at times, but I would like to walk alongside the path with you as you re-discover your dynamic self and achieve your personal goals.

When you’re dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, or relationship stress, it can start to feel like life is happening to you instead of with you. I help clients understand what’s fueling their symptoms and create a plan to move forward that fits your personality, your values, and your real life. Therapy with me is practical, collaborative, and focused on change. We’ll figure out what’s driving the anxiety, depression, or disconnection, and build tools you can use outside the session, not just insight that sounds good for 10 minutes.

Life’s challenges can leave us feeling disconnected, stuck, or overwhelmed. I believe that healing happens through connection, and I provide a space to uncover patterns that may be holding you back. I support clients of all ages, with a special focus on those navigating trauma and grief. I work with interpersonal trauma, including intimate partner violence, attachment wounds, and betrayal trauma. By exploring how early relationships and experiences shape present emotions and behaviors, I also help clients gain insight and build healthier relationships.

As a licensed clinical social worker, I believe that self-care is essential to overall well-being and an important part of healing and growth. I have spent years supporting children, adults, and families as they work toward their mental health goals and build lives that feel meaningful and fulfilling. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and focused on helping clients feel understood while developing practical tools. I have a particular passion for supporting parents who are navigating the many roles and pressures they carry—whether that includes parenting, caregiving, managing careers, and coping with stress.

Sometimes the dream of raising children is not what you expected. No matter what you do, it seems nothing works. You worry if your child will be okay and if things will ever get better. You are not alone. It is heartbreaking to see your child struggle socially, academically, emotionally, and behaviorally. Many factors impact behavior. Trauma, sensory overload, and grief, are just a few examples. When children don't know how to communicate their experiences, feelings, and needs, they often communicate through behaviors such as tantrums, acting aggressively, or shutting down.

Now Accepting New Clients (2025/2026): The stressors of modern living create noisy interference in the “telephone line” to our highest self (often called the soul, spirit, unified field, universal consciousness, etc.). Through my intuitive psychotherapy practice, I cast my mystical gifts through the lens of my expertise as a licensed clinical social worker. Marrying the two allows for optimum balance between divine clarity and therapeutic processing and integration work. Clients benefit on a soul level while remaining anchored in practical application tools for everyday living.

Hello, ahlan, kumustaka, I'm Heba! I specialize in supporting individuals and couples who hold multiple cultural identities, and experience chronic stress, anxiety, or depression. Many clients begin therapy with me to heal from past trauma, process the weight of our current political climate, receive support in navigating family or relationship conflicts, unexpected life events, or to gain a deeper understanding of their cultural, religious or familial identity—coupled with the day to day stress of balancing a career, family, social life, health and wellness, and a sense of self.

If you're reading this, you've already embarked on a courageous step towards healing. Finding the right therapist is a journey in itself, and it's crucial that our approaches align for a successful therapeutic partnership. I practice person-centered, existential, and strengths-based therapy. You are the expert in your life, and my role is to offer a non-judgmental, authentic space for you to explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences. A key aspect of my approach is the intentional use of silence. These quiet moments are not voids, but rich opportunities for reflection and deeper understanding.
