Hi, I’m Shahed! You may look fine on the outside while anxiety, overthinking, and self-doubt rarely give you a break. Maybe you feel tense at work, shut down in relationships, second-guess yourself constantly, or struggle with sleep, panic, people-pleasing, or feeling disconnected from who you are.

These patterns are not random. They often come from experiences your mind and body have been carrying for a long time. I create a warm, nonjudgmental space where we can make sense of what is underneath the anxiety, rebuild self-worth, and help you feel safer and more connected in your day-to-day life and relationships.

Drawing on parts work, Emotionally Focused Therapy, and gentle body-based approaches, we will work at a pace that feels right for you.

I also support clients with trauma, social anxiety, perfectionism, burnout, dating and attachment patterns, family conflict, cultural expectations, intrusive thoughts, chronic pain, and intimacy concerns.

As a therapist of Middle Eastern and Muslim background, I also bring genuine cultural understanding to clients navigating between different worlds.

You do not have to keep pushing through on autopilot. Reach out for a complimentary consultation and we can see whether working together feels like a good fit.
