You don't have to have it all figured out to start.
Whether you're a parent worried about your child, a teen feeling overwhelmed, or a family navigating hard seasons. You're in the right place!
I work with children, teens, adults, and families who are curious and ready to explore, even if they're nervous. My style is warm, casual, and completely client-led. You set the pace.
Using DBT and CBT tools, we'll work on emotions, coping, and confidence — but more than anything, I want you to leave every session feeling heard, safe, and supported
I specialize in supporting children (ages 6+), teens, and women navigating anxiety, emotional challenges, and family stress. Drawing from DBT and CBT, I offer a warm, strengths-based approach where healing happens at your pace. As a Somali, Muslim therapist, I bring cultural understanding that makes a difference. You deserve a space where you are truly seen
Taking the first step can feel hard, but you don't have to do it alone. I'm currently accepting new clients and would love to connect with you. Reaching out is simple, and it could be the most important thing you do for yourself or your loved one. I can't wait to meet you!
