Therapy and EMDR in NYC & Online in New York & California
Helping you feel calm, confident and connected
Therapy for high-achieving women and teens ready to release anxiety, burnout, trauma, and self-doubt
ON THE SURFACE YOU HAVE IT ALL TOGETHER
On the inside, it feels much harder
Hi, I’m Samira.
Therapy that goes beyond coping skills.
If you’re here, you might be used to holding a lot—managing work, relationships, and expectations, while quietly feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or disconnected underneath it all.
I know how heavy that can feel.
I work with motivated and insightful adults who want something more than just coping strategies or a place to vent. Many have tried therapy before but felt like it didn’t lead to real change.
My approach integrates somatic work, EMDR, and parts work so we can 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.”
I Specialize in Working With
-
You may look capable and successful on the outside but feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or never quite good enough inside. I help you understand the patterns driving anxiety and self-doubt, quiet the inner critic, and build a steadier sense of confidence from within. Learn more

If you grew up carrying too much—translating, mediating, or being the responsible one—you may feel guilt, burnout, or torn between your family’s expectations and your own needs. As a someone who grew up in an immigrant household, I offer culturally attuned support to help you break these patterns and build a life that feels true to you Learn more.

You may look capable and put-together on the outside but feel overwhelmed, anxious, or not good enough inside. I help you understand the patterns driving pressure and self-doubt, quiet the inner critic, and develop confidence that comes from within rather than constant achievement.
-
You may be experiencing compassion fatigue, burnout, moral distress, or difficulty caring for yourself while caring for others. I help you process the impact of chronic stress and trauma exposure, restore a sense of balance, and reconnect with yourself so you can feel steadier and more supported.
THERAPY APPROACHES
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.
