But here's the thing – you don't have to face it alone. I'm here to be your partner as we navigate through those overwhelming moments together. Let's keep it real – life can be messy. Whether it's dealing with grief, anxiety, depression, or just the everyday stresses that come our way, I've got your back. No judgment here, just a listening ear and a whole lot of empathy. I believe in the power of collaboration. Together, we'll roll up our sleeves and figure out what works best for you. No cookie-cutter solutions, just practical tools and strategies tailored to your unique needs. This is a space where you can truly be yourself – flaws and all.

Ready to start your journey towards a happier, more fulfilling life? I'm here to help you take that first step.
In your first session, we'll focus on getting to know each other. We'll discuss your reasons for seeking therapy, set achievable goals, and explore what you hope to gain from our sessions. I'll explain the therapeutic process, ensuring you feel comfortable and informed. The aim is to establish a connection, lay the groundwork for our work together, and empower you on your journey to well-being.
My greatest strength as a provider is my ability to build connections. I excel in establishing meaningful and trusting relationships with my clients, creating a powerful foundation for our work together. I pride myself on cultivating a supportive and empathetic therapeutic environment that encourages open communication and collaboration. I truly believe that building strong connections is key to facilitating positive change and promoting the well-being of those I work with.
I am best positioned to serve teens and adults who are navigating life challenges, transitions, and dealing with issues such as anxiety, depression, and loss. If you find yourself facing the complexities of life, whether it's adjusting to significant changes, managing overwhelming emotions, or coping with grief, I'm here to provide support along your journey. My approach is tailored to address your unique needs, fostering a safe and empathetic space where we can work collaboratively to navigate these challenges, build resilience, and create a path toward positive growth and well-being.
Over the years, I have successfully applied CBT to a diverse range of clients dealing with various mental health challenges such as anxiety, depression, and stress-related disorders. My approach involves collaboratively identifying and understanding thought patterns and behaviors that may contribute to their distress. I work closely with clients to help them recognize and reframe irrational or harmful thoughts, fostering a more balanced and constructive mindset. This process is crucial in empowering individuals to manage their emotions and develop healthier coping mechanisms. In the behavioral aspect of CBT, I guide clients in implementing practical, goal-oriented strategies to modify negative behaviors. My commitment is to guide individuals towards lasting positive change, equipping them with the skills needed to navigate life's challenges with resilience and confidence.
Our sessions are collaborative, with a primary focus on your goals and the steps needed to achieve them. Together, we explore your strengths, successes, and resources, emphasizing what's already working well in your life. This process helps to build momentum for change. SFBT is a time-efficient approach that seeks to create practical, actionable solutions. We'll work on identifying small, manageable steps that can lead to significant improvements. This method not only helps you address immediate concerns but also fosters a sense of empowerment and self-efficacy.

Aisha as helped me to work through 2 of the most difficult things that have happened in my life and they happened within 3 months of each other. She is great at helping to look at things on both the macro and the micro level. Each time I meet with her I feel better equipped to step back into the world with tools to take on the next steps. I cannot recommend her enough.
