About me
Hi, I'm Sara. I help individuals caught in controlling and abusive relationships see through the gaslighting, reconnect with their intuition, and shift from survival to self-trust. I specialize in working with survivors of psychological, emotional, verbal, or physical abuse, narcissistic abuse, coercive control, and domestic violence. I also provide individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma/PTSD, infertility and perinatal mood disorders, with the tools they need to begin healing. In couple's work, my approach focuses on recognizing and unlearning disruptive patterns, learning new strategies to communicate more effectively, and rebuilding emotional safety and connection. I graduated with my M.A in Counseling from Northwestern University in 2020, and am currently a doctoral student in the Counseling Education and Supervision program at University of the Cumberlands.
Get to know me
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
During the first session, we focus on getting to know one another and getting comfortable. I will ask you specific questions about your history- to get a sense of who you are, what you've experienced, and what brings you to counseling. We will also discuss resources and how to connect with me between sessions to ensure your care remains prioritized.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
My approach to counseling blends my psychodynamic training with CBT, EMDR, and Brainspotting to effectively treat trauma and PTSD, anxiety, and depression. As a Pakistani-American Muslim and a second-generation American, I am committed to inclusivity in my practice. I proudly serve other therapists and first responders, BIPOC individuals, and first and second-generation Americans.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I particularly enjoy working with individuals of Middle Eastern and/or South Asian descent, individuals who identify as Muslim or other religious minorities, and immigrants or children of immigrants/second-generation Americans. I also speak Urdu and would work well with clients needing services in Urdu or Hindi (verbal only).

Very glad to have found Sara as she helps me navigate life changes. She really takes time to listen and challenges me to look at things from subjective stances. Thank you.

It took me several months to find a provider I was comfortable with. She is absolutely wonderful. I am grateful I found her. She truly listens; Working hard to get to the root of issues, speaks with clarity, compassion, and understanding, and most importantly, you feel her sincerity. She genuinely cares about her clients well-being and over all health. I’ve been seeing her for 6+ years and she has brought extraordinary resources and a level of compassionate care I’ve yet to find elsewhere.

She seems kind and caring, in her tone and words. It made it easy to talk to her.
