Therapy and EMDR in NYC & Virtual in NY & CA
Your life looks good on paper.
You’re ready for it to feel good.
Therapy for high-achieving women ready to move beyond anxiety, perfectionism, burnout, and self-doubt.
Patterns That Are Hard to Let Go
Maybe some of this feels familiar.
-
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.
I especially enjoy working with high-achieving women, eldest daughters, children of immigrants, healthcare professionals and helpers who see themselves in these patterns.
IT’S POSSIBLE TO
Feel good enough. Be present. Trust yourself.
Therapy that goes beyond coping skills.
You may understand where your 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.”
Hi, I’m Samira.
I’m glad you’re here.
I’m a native New Yorker and the eldest daughter in an immigrant Middle Eastern family. I understand what it can be like to navigate different cultures while carrying family expectations. I offer a culturally attuned space where you don’t need to “explain it all” - I get it.
I’m warm, curious, and actively engaged in our sessions. I’ll ask questions, share what I’m noticing, and explore things alongside you. I show up as a person too, someone who may laugh with you, bring a little humor into the room, and sit with you through the hard moments. There’s room for all of it.
I value a relationship where you can feel deeply known and understood. We’ll make room for the parts of your experience you don’t always get to share.
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.

Go Deeper
We’ll move beyond surface-level coping to understand and shift the patterns driving anxiety, self-doubt, or feeling stuck.
See Change
Over time, you’ll begin to feel calmer, more confident, and more grounded in how you relate to yourself and others.
It’s possible to feel grounded, connected and free from old patterns.
