I believe in empowering clients to be catalysts of change in their own lives. I believe in creating a safe space where clients can feel supported and be empowered to explore self- discovery and self-acceptance. I have experience working with diverse populations but i specialize in working with adults of all ages. My treatment focus is life transitions, depression, anxiety, relationships and self-esteem concerns. I pride myself on meeting clients where they are and viewing their experiences through their lenses. My goal with working with my clients is to foster resiliency and personal growth in addition to improved functioning. I challenge the adults that I work with in psychotherapy who struggle with different stressors to identify current behaviors and patterns that contribute to distress, while exploring how they are influenced by past experiences and thought patterns. I look forward to working with you and assisting you with creating a balanced life while learning how to navigate life stressors without it significantly impacting one’s daily functioning.

Hi, I’m Sahar! I am passionate about assisting children, teens, adults, and families navigate life’s challenges with curiosity, hope, and compassion. I believe that healing begins when we truly feel seen and understood, so my approach focuses on building a warm, supportive connection where clients can safely explore their thoughts and feelings. My work draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Existential, and Humanistic approaches. This means I not only help clients understand and change unhelpful patterns of thinking or behavior, but also delve deeper into meaning, purpose, and identity. Whether we’re working through anxiety and depression, trauma, or life transitions, I aim to help each person reconnect with their strengths and sense of self. In my work with children and adolescents, I use creative and developmentally appropriate strategies that make therapy engaging and relatable. I also support parents and families in strengthening communication, building understanding, and nurturing connections at home. Through my journey as a student and trainee in forensic and clinical psychology, I gained experience working with individuals experiencing trauma, crisis, and severe mental illness in both the clinical and community setting. These experiences have taught me the importance of meeting clients exactly where they are, specifically with respect, empathy, and cultural sensitivity. As someone who is fluent in English, Arabic, and American Sign Language, I value creating a space where clients from all backgrounds feel welcome and understood. My goal is to work alongside you as you work toward healing, growth, and a deeper sense of peace in your life.

I am a first-generation Filipino American doctoral student. I use client-led approaches to ensure that the therapeutic space is tailored specifically to each individual. My specialties include children ages 2-10, adults aged 18-35, and elderly adults aged 65+. I work with you to identify how previous life experiences may contribute to behavioral/cognitive patterns that are causing distress. I believe that the therapeutic relationship is essential for ensuring positive outcomes, and I look forward to collaborating with you!

I provide culturally sensitive, strength‐based therapy to adolescents, young adults, and families. I have experience working with at‐risk youth impacted by the juvenile justice system, providing school‐based therapy to teens and young adults, and supporting parents and families through a variety of challenges.

My therapeutic approach integrates attachment‐based, psychodynamic, family systems, and strength‐based perspectives, with play therapy incorporated when appropriate. I strive to create a safe, collaborative, and culturally responsive space where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered.

I have experience supporting clients navigating anxiety, depression, stress‐related experiences, grief and loss, family dynamics, immigration and assimilation, and life transitions.

As a bilingual therapist, I provide services in both English and Spanish. I value honoring each client’s cultural background, identity, family experiences, and individual strengths throughout the therapeutic process.
