LCSW, 4 years of experience
If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, anxious, stuck, or disconnected from yourself or others, you’re not alone. Many of my clients come to me during times of transition, stress, or uncertainty, unsure of how to move forward but knowing something needs to change. I work with kids, teens, and adults who are navigating challenges like anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship stress, and major life changes. Some clients are looking for relief from the daily weight of worry or sadness; others are trying to make sense of who they are and how to live more fully.
In our first few sessions, we’ll talk about what’s bringing you in, your history, and what you hope to get out of therapy. From there, we’ll create a plan together and check in on how it’s going, so you know therapy is making a difference in your life.
My style is warm, down-to-earth, and collaborative. I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all therapy. Instead, we’ll figure out together what works best for you; whether that’s building practical coping tools, slowing down enough to really hear your emotions, or exploring patterns that keep you feeling stuck. Therapy with me is about creating a safe, cozy space where you can breathe, reflect, and slowly practice new ways of being.
I’m the best fit for people who are open to exploring both the hard stuff and the hope; those who want a mix of practical support and deeper self-understanding. While I welcome many different people, I may not be the right therapist if you’re looking for highly structured, diagnosis-only treatment or very short-term coaching. Outside the therapy room, I find joy in nature, art, travel, and dancing; things that remind me of the importance of creativity, play, and movement in healing. If this resonates with you, I’d be honored to walk alongside you as you navigate whatever life is putting in front of you right now.
I use MBT to teach people how to observe the present moment with a non-judgmental and accepting attitude. It encourages individuals to observe their thoughts, emotions, bodily sensations, and surroundings without getting caught up in them or reacting impulsively. In my experience people this framework allows people to access their seat of power and make better decisions for themselves.
I use CBT to support patients in identifying unhelpful thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that negatively impact their quality of life and then work to foster more helpful patterns. This is a practical, goal-oriented approach to therapy focused on helping clients develop the skills they need to cope with life's challenges and improve their overall well-being.
I use humanistic therapy as a compassionate and person-centered approach to therapy that emphasizes the client's inherent worth, dignity, and capacity for growth. It's a collaborative and empowering approach that cultivates greater self-awareness, self-acceptance, and fulfillment in their lives.
I offer Dialectical Behavior Therapy as a skill-based approach to helping individuals manage their emotions, improve their relationships, and create an enjoyable life.
I have found Person-centered therapy to be effective for a wide range of mental health concerns and is particularly well-suited for individuals seeking a supportive and empowering therapeutic relationship.

I absolutely love Nazma. She is extremely kind and encouraging. She provides such an open space to explore things within your own time frame. She is a great guide to navigating your thoughts without the pressure of having to present a certain way. I would highly recommend.

I had prayed in finding a therapist that i genuinely liked and connected with and Nazma has been exactly that for me. She is a great listener, a warm person who leaves room for you to feel and think as you please. She has made a significant impact on my life and my emotional well-being. She has made me feel lighter as a person due to her kind nature and approachable self. She is incredible -- if youre looking for breakthrough, book with Nazma.
