About
Sabiha
I am a licensed therapist with 11 years of experience helping adults navigate anxiety, stress, burnout, grief, and life transitions. Many of my clients are used to holding everything together on the outside while feeling quietly overwhelmed or stuck internally. My style is warm, collaborative, and culturally attuned, focusing on helping you slow down, understand what’s driving these patterns, and build practical tools to feel more clear-headed and grounded in your daily life.
Outside of work, I recharge by connecting with nature through stand-up paddleboarding, hiking, biking, and catching sunsets. I am also drawn to creative expression through painting, sculpture, and stained glass, alongside cooking, reading, traveling, and sharing quality time with family and friends. Engaging in these creative and natural outlets brings me a deep sense of presence, balance, and joy that I carry back into my practice.
