Hi there, I'm Amirah!

I work with adults navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, life transitions, identity, and relationships. My approach is trauma-informed and culturally responsive, helping you understand what you are experiencing and how your experiences have shaped the ways you learned to cope, connect, and survive.

My focus

I work primarily with adults experiencing trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship concerns, identity exploration, and life transitions. I am especially attentive to how culture, relationships, expectations, and lived experiences influence mental health, the ways we learn to survive, and how we experience healing.

My approach

My approach is trauma-informed, culturally responsive, and collaborative. I draw from person-centered, relational, feminist, and somatic approaches and integrate EMDR when appropriate. Together, we explore your experiences in context, including what helped you survive, what still serves you, and what you are ready to change.
