I welcome all genders, sexual orientations, races, nationalities, abilities, and body sizes, and specialize in working with those experiencing the impact of interpersonal and complex trauma, chronic illness, disability, & body image difficulties/eating disorders.
I believe there is great value in a curious and non-judgmental exploration of our feelings, thoughts, actions, and relational patterns, in the presence of another person. An interactive and collaborative psychotherapy process can increase empathy for oneself and others, and strengthen ones capacity for making meaningful change, and coping with challenges that arise throughout life.

Our approach is to meet you where you are at. I think of myself as a co-pilot, with your hands on the wheel and the brakes so we take things at your pace. There is nothing we can't talk about together. Unlike other relationships, the therapeutic one is solely there for you. You are free to talk about whatever is on your mind and not protect me from your pain, emotions or fears. Our team has helped many through mindfulness, trauma-focused CBT and insight-oriented integrative approaches. Nothing is more fulfilling than witnessing our clients face extraordinary challenges and then thrive in their personal and professional lives.

Hello, I'm Zaina! As a therapist, I aim to create a space to foster introspection, inner child healing, and self-compassion through the collaborative effort of both the therapist and client. My style of treatment focuses on helping clients find patterns in their emotions, thoughts, and beliefs in order to gain insight into their current self. Our work together aims for you to explore how reactions to present-day circumstances may be influenced by past events. I may also implement trauma focused or behavioral approaches that focus on processing, healing, and developing coping skills.

Female Therapists
Does it matter what gender my therapist is?
In general, this is not an important factor, as there is no relationship between a therapist’s gender and their efficacy. Some clients, however, prefer to see therapists of a particular gender, whether due to their own past experiences with men and women, or ingrained beliefs about how people of different genders think and behave. Exploring the roots of such preferences and considering what one wants to address in therapy can help someone determine whether their therapist’s gender truly matters to them.
Should I see a female therapist?
Many people—not just women—prefer to see a female therapist, either because they believe that a woman will be able to relate to their specific challenges (for example, sexism in the workplace) or because they imagine feeling more comfortable disclosing sensitive information to a woman. Such beliefs may not turn out to be accurate, however, and adhering too rigidly to a gender preference can at times hinder a client from finding the best therapeutic match.
Do therapists get specific training to help with women’s concerns?
Therapists are trained to provide care to clients of any gender. However, some therapists—both men and women—may pursue additional training in feminist therapy, gender-specific issues, or women’s mental health. Female clients may wish to ask prospective therapists whether they have received specific training in the client’s primary area(s) of concern, or whether they have worked extensively with women on issues similar to their own.
How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience in treating women?
It’s OK—even encouraged!—to ask a therapist directly whether and how often they have treated women in the past, or whether they have treated women dealing with the client’s most prominent concern(s). Competent therapists will be happy to share their educational background, preferred treatment modalities, and prior client experience to help an individual find the therapist best suited to their needs.
