Hi, I'm Ezza. My life’s work is to understand and strengthen human relationships, and to help others live an authentic and a meaningful life. As your therapist, my aim is to offer you a safe space to explore things in your life that may or may not be going well and become an active participant in your life. One of the ways that you will experience therapy with me is that it is a collaborative process aimed at getting you to notice, bring attention, and slow down especially when the world urges all of us to numb, ignore, distract, or speed up.

I work with adolescents, adults, & couples presenting with a wide range of concerns. I approach therapy from a relational, integrative, and multicultural framework with skills grounded in mindfulness-based and evidenced-based approaches such as ACT. Ultimately, I believe in starting wherever you are comfortable and meeting you where you are.

Seeking therapy can be an uncomfortable experience, which is why I am committed to creating a non-judgmental and safe space for you. It would be an honor to walk alongside you on your journey.
