Are relationship dynamics, family tension, or the patterns you keep repeating leaving you feeling stuck and disconnected from who you truly are? Whether the struggle is personal, between partners, or felt across the whole family, it rarely exists in isolation — and neither should the solution. You don't have to untangle it alone, and you don't have to choose between getting help as an individual or getting help together. In addition to individual therapy, I specialize in couples and family therapy, helping you gain deeper insight into your patterns and become more of who you truly are.

Starting therapy can feel intimidating, especially when you’re used to handling things on your own. I want therapy to be a space where you can show up as you are, without judgment, pressure, or the expectation that you should have everything figured out. I believe you are the expert on your own life, and my role is to walk alongside you with curiosity, compassion, and honesty. Together, we’ll explore what’s beneath the surface, recognize patterns that may be keeping you stuck, build practical tools, and work toward meaningful change at a pace that feels right for you.

My name is Zahra Somani and as a bicultural, bilingual (English, Urdu) therapist I am deeply familiar with the joys and struggles that come with navigating different worldviews all while balancing priorities, boundaries, and self-care.
I specialize in helping my clients identify emotions so they can become “unstuck,” work on communication issues, address sexual intimacy, battle anxiety, and gain a deeper understanding of themselves. My therapeutic approach is based in attachment theory – I believe we are all built to connect deeply, and that deep connection happens on an emotional level.

Even without the stigma around mental health/therapy, reaching out can still feel like a big, vulnerable step, especially if you’re used to being the one who holds everything together for everyone else. It can be hard to shift from that role and admit you might need support, too. If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or emotionally drained from trying to keep up with expectations, relationships, or all the different roles you carry, you’re not alone. Many of my clients I work with come in feeling the same way: stretched thin, quietly struggling with anxiety or relationships, or carrying a lingering sense of not quite belonging.

You’ve been holding it together for everyone your partner, your parents, your family, and you’re exhausted. Maybe you and your spouse keep having the same argument and walk away feeling more alone.

Hey, your life is fine. Others have it worse, right? No one needs to know that you’re struggling. In fact, the image of yourself that the world sees is not really you, so would they truly care if you did share how you’re doing? You can’t ignore that gut feeling that the real you is too messy and strange for others to like or even understand. You hide your true feelings until it all becomes overwhelming and you feel out of control again. Maybe you can’t stop crying or you pull away from everyone and live on autopilot. Your old way of handling things is not cutting it, and maybe the frustration has you hoping for something better.

You're not falling apart, you're exhausted from pretending you're not. Maybe you keep shrinking yourself to keep the peace — in a friendship, at home, in love. Maybe you've spent years measuring yourself against a beauty standard that was never built for you, wondering if you're finally enough. You're ambitious, self-aware, and tired of patterns you can't seem to break — in love, in family, in how you show up for people who don't show up for you. If you're a woman navigating self-worth, body image, or relationships that take more than they give, you're exactly who I work with.
