Hi, I’m Zainab, a Registered Psychotherapist with over 8 years of experience in the mental health field. I work with adults facing challenges like anxiety, depression, stress, relationship issues, burnout, low self-esteem, and emotional dysregulation. Whether you’re dealing with personal struggles or life transitions, I’m here to help.

I offer therapy in several modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Narrative Therapy.

Clients ages 12 and up are welcomed into a space that is safe, nonjudgmental, and collaborative—where care is genuinely tailored to their unique needs. I support individuals navigating a wide range of challenges, including mental health concerns, relationship struggles, trauma in all its forms, anxiety, overwhelm, and the complexities of life transitions.

Life can be difficult, and we all deserve someone who shows up authentically and walks alongside us. I meet people where they are, offering DBR (Deep Brain Reorienting), EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitizing and Reprocessing) Therapy and IFS (Internal Family System) therapy, and/or ‘talk therapy’. I also draw from CBT, DBT, mindfulness, and other evidence-based approaches, because healing is never one-size-fits-all.

With more than 20 years of experience in the mental health field, I’ve had the privilege of working with clients from diverse backgrounds, each bringing their own goals, stories, and strengths. My personal experiences—as a partner, mother, sister, daughter, and more—inform the compassion and empathy I bring to every therapeutic relationship.

This is your life, and together we can work toward cultivating the fulfillment, resilience, and peace you deserve.

Welcome — I’m really glad you’re here. If you’ve found your way here, you may be feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply exhausted from carrying so much on your own. Whether you’re a first responder, living with chronic pain or illness, navigating the impacts of childhood trauma, or struggling with relationships or sexuality, you deserve support that feels safe, respectful, and effective.

I bring over 20 years of experience as a therapist and social worker. I’m deeply committed to walking alongside people ready to explore their inner world and move toward healing. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and always tailored to your unique experience.

One of the core methods I use is Internal Family Systems (IFS)—a gentle, non-judgmental approach that helps you get to know the different “parts” of yourself. Many of us carry wounded parts shaped by past experiences, along with protective parts that try to help us cope. In IFS therapy, we give those parts space to be heard and begin healing the burdens they carry. This process can be especially helpful if you often feel stuck in repeating patterns, overwhelmed by emotion, or disconnected from who you really are.

I also integrate trauma-informed care, Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), and Narrative Therapy to support emotional regulation, build coping tools, and process painful or traumatic memories at your own pace.

For individuals and couples seeking to reconnect with their sexuality and intimacy, I offer sex therapy. Together, we can explore issues like desire, sexual identity, communication challenges, body image, and the impacts of trauma, always at your pace, and always with care and respect.

I have a particular passion for working with first responders and front-line workers—people who are used to taking care of everyone else, often at the expense of their own well-being. I understand how cumulative stress, trauma, and burnout can silently take hold, and I provide a space where you don’t need to be “on.” You can just be human here.

I also support individuals living with chronic pain and illness, helping them navigate the emotional toll that often accompanies physical health challenges. Together, we can explore how to soften suffering, reconnect with your body, and make space for compassion and meaning, no matter where you are in your journey.

Welcome — I’m really glad you’re here. If you’ve found your way here, you may be feeling overwhel... Read More

It’s normal to feel overwhelmed when life moves so quickly, which is why it can be helpful to have support with slowing things down and formulating a plan. Improving your mental health and well-being can be as simple as developing a daily routine that increases energy and reduces stress.

Sometimes knowing where to start can feel confusing, lonely, or complicated. I want you to know you’re not alone in this feeling!
