Have you ever been told you were too sensitive? Do you feel the need to explain yourself over and over again only to be met with criticism or lack of understanding? Whether you are living with ADHD or struggling with anxiety, stress, overwhelm, depression, grief, trauma, OCD, and other issues that make life that much more challenging, these can take a toll on your energy and wellbeing. They can feel impossible to manage or get out from under. I am here to help you explore what has been weighing on you, learn new skills, and better cope with what has kept you from thriving.

Chances are you've been feeling symptoms of anxiety, depression, and/or ADHD. Life feels overwhelming, getting out of bed is hard, you feel fearful over seemingly small things, you can’t seem to focus, you constantly lose things, you feel out of control, and what’s even worse: all of these symptoms and feelings are negatively interfering with your quality of life. You want help, but finding a primary care provider or mental health professional seems overwhelming and waits are too long.

You may not know exactly when it shifted, but something feels different. Midlife and later life can arrive quietly—through subtle changes in your body, relationships, or roles. Recovery takes longer. Energy feels different. Parents need care. Retirement or career recalibration comes into view. Long-standing partnerships begin navigating new terrain shaped by health changes, shifting identities, or evolving intimacy. You may feel stretched between responsibility and reflection—wanting steadiness, clarity, and a place to think deeply about what this season means for you and your relationships. You don’t have to face it alone.

Many of us know that putting ourselves first leads to better relationships, career satisfaction, and balance—but knowing isn’t the same as doing. I help clients reconnect with meaning, clarity, and joy by working holistically through life transitions, financial stress, family dynamics, health challenges, and career shifts.
My approach integrates resilience and authenticity, creating a safe, collaborative space where you feel supported and empowered to grow, set goals, and build lasting change at a pace that honors your needs.

Life can be difficult to navigate and it can feel like everyone has a different opinion on what we need to feel better. My goal as your therapist is to help you find your own way. No matter what your current struggles are, it is my belief that aiding you in discovering what helps you as an individual is going to be the most beneficial. I will explore your strengths, patterns, and barriers in order to identify your unique path towards change and healing. The clients I generally see are teenage, adolescent, young adult, and adult (16-50).

I view psychotherapy as a collaborative deep dive into the meanings of one’s inner life. People often seek therapy because they feel caught in emotional patterns that are often a source of anxiety and suffering. I tend to really work well with clients who are curious about understanding themselves and others more deeply. Many of the people I work with are thoughtful and introspective but feel stuck in patterns which are painful, overwhelming, or isolating.

My goal is to build a trusting, safe therapeutic relationship where we can navigate the nonlinear and often messy process of healing together. Whether you are seeking couples therapy to break old cycles or navigating complex family dynamics, I provide a compassionate, nonjudgmental space for profound change.
Drawing on my background as a massage therapist, I bring a unique somatic lens to relational work. I emphasize how stress, trauma, and social factors live in the body and impact your nervous system regulation within your relationships. My work is systemic and grounded in social justice.

I aim to assist clients in discovering their authentic selves by providing a trusting and compassionate therapeutic environment where you feel safe engaging in problem-solving and self-discovery.

I didn’t become a therapist to “fix” people. I’ve lived this work myself. My own healing journey, navigating power dynamics and redefining what safety means, is what led me here. As a Muslim woman, a recovering perfectionist, and the lifelong “strong one,” I know how heavy it can feel to hold everything on your own.
My approach is trauma-informed, culturally attuned, and grounded in honesty and integrity. This is a space to feel, grieve, reconnect, and begin again. Together, we’ll move with gentleness and depth, cultivating the safety and strength to live in a more grounded, authentic way.

I am client-centered in my approach and work with individuals on personal, relational and family issues. I provide a confidential and supportive environment for you to share your concerns, and goals. I view the counseling relationship as a collaborative process and believe the role of a therapist is similar to that of a "coach," one who challenges old ineffective behaviors and beliefs. Through dialogue and deep listening, new choices and next steps will be brought to light.

Currently accepting clients M-F 9-4. I work with clients with wild, confusing, unchecked emotions and help them make sense and understanding.

I work with adults and couples, including neurodiverse individuals, who feel stuck in patterns in their relationships or emotional lives. Many come in struggling with anxiety, overwhelm, trauma, or feeling misunderstood or disconnected from their partner. They want more clarity, better communication, and a stronger sense of connection but aren’t sure how to get there. Together, we begin to understand what’s beneath these patterns so things can start to feel different.

From military leaders, to executives, to athletes, and everyone in between...I work with high performing people who can also get stuck in the hard places of life. Are revolving cycles of misunderstanding and conflict leaving you feeling stuck in your relationship? Does a painful past steal your joy in the present or hope for the future? Is stress or burnout preventing you from being your best at work or at home? Are you moving through life at breakneck speed, but lacking a clear sense of direction? Disruptions like these disconnect us from what matters most and negatively impact how we think, feel, and move in the world.
