Hi there, I'm Rashida!

As a warm and grounding therapist (who isn’t afraid to add a little humor when it helps), I create a space where you don’t have to have everything figured out. I believe healing happens when you feel understood—not judged. My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and human.

My focus

My work is trauma-informed, culturally affirming, and LGBTQIA+ inclusive. I also support clients navigating religious trauma, deconstruction, or spiritual transitions with sensitivity and respect for their lived experiences.

My approach

I draw from CBT, DBT, and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) to help you develop tools you can use in everyday life. Together, we’ll explore emotions, patterns, and beliefs while also learning strategies to manage symptoms, improve communication, strengthen relationships, and build resilience.
