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.
You may be used to thinking things through, pushing yourself, and holding it all together but still feel anxious, overwhelmed, and stuck in the same patterns.
My approach integrates insight-oriented therapy, EMDR, and somatic work to address the deeper patterns driving anxiety and self-doubt so change feels meaningful and lasting.
My style is warm, engaged, and collaborative. I’m not a passive listener — I’ll actively guide the process so therapy feels focused, supportive, and effective.
Feeling calm and confident isn’t out of your reach, I’d love to help get you there.

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, stuck in your head, or never quite good enough despite how capable you are.
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 stuck in something that hasn’t shifted with weekly therapy alone. 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.
