IT’S POSSIBLE TO
Feel good enough. Be present. Trust yourself.
Hi, I’m Samira.
Therapy that goes beyond coping skills.
If you're here, you may be used to holding a lot—managing work, relationships, other people's needs, and your own expectations while quietly feeling anxious or overwhelmed underneath it all.
Maybe you're constantly overthinking, putting pressure on yourself, worrying about disappointing people, and struggling to stay present even when things are going well. You second-guess yourself. And no matter how much you accomplish, it can be hard to feel like you're doing enough.
You may even understand where these patterns come from. Knowing hasn't necessarily made them easier to change.
I work with thoughtful, insightful women who want something more than coping strategies or a place to vent. Many have been in therapy before and gained valuable insight but still find themselves stuck in the same patterns.
As an EMDRIA Certified Therapist™, I integrate EMDR, IFS/parts work, and somatic work to help you understand and shift the patterns at the root, not just manage them on the surface.
You don’t have to carry it alone. Together, we’ll work to help you feel more grounded, confident, and finally “good enough.”
Patterns That Are Hard to Let Go
-
You put a lot of pressure on yourself to get things right. Even when you're doing well, you second-guess yourself, focus on what you could have done better, or struggle to feel like you're enough. You wish you could quiet the inner critic.
-
You're used to considering what everyone else needs. Setting boundaries, disappointing someone, or prioritizing yourself can bring up more guilt and anxiety than you wish it did.
-
Your mind rarely switches off. You replay conversations, anticipate what could go wrong, and have a hard time being present even when things are going well.
-
You're good at pushing through, but you're tired of always being “on.” You want to slow down, feel more present, and have more space for what actually matters to you. You want to shift out of “survival” mode.
Maybe some of this feels familiar.
I especially enjoy working with high-achieving women, eldest daughters, children of immigrants, healthcare professionals and helpers who see themselves in these patterns.
WAYS WE CAN WORK TOGETHER
Self Esteem and Anxiety Therapy
You may feel anxious, constantly overthinking, or like nothing you do is ever quite enough.
I use an integrative approach that goes deeper to get to the root of anxiety and self doubt.
EMDR Therapy
You may feel stuck in patterns you can’t seem to shift.
EMDR goes beyond talk therapy, helping your brain process experiences and let go of the past.
EMDR Intensives
You may feel ready to work through something more fully, especially if weekly therapy hasn’t created the shift you’re looking for.
Intensives offer focused, extended sessions to help you make meaningful progress more quickly.
Children of Immigrants Therapy
You may feel pulled between different worlds, expectations, or identities.
I offer a culturally attuned space to explore family dynamics, generational patterns, and the impact of oppression.
