Great to meet you!

My name is Shanaz pronounced: shah-nawz

I provide a safe, compassionate space where you can explore and address life's challenges. My therapeutic approach is holistic, blending evidence-based methods with a deep understanding of your unique experiences. I specialize in helping adults navigate stress, anxiety, trauma, and life transitions. Together, we’ll work to uncover the roots of your struggles & empower you to find balance and wellness, guiding you toward a more fulfilling and peaceful life.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I believe holding space & offering support is essential to healing past & present trauma. I offer brain spotting/other somatic approaches to serve as a modality to overcome life challenges but the main focus is relational. The therapeutic relationship is the agent for change in our work together. In my area of practice, I help you identify pieces of your life that may be unresolved and hold you back from reaching your most authentic self.

What you can expect from our first session

You will gain valuable insights, coping strategies, and practical tools to manage stress, anxiety, and other challenges. My sessions are designed to help you understand the root causes of your issues, develop healthier thought patterns, and build resilience. You’ll leave each session feeling more empowered, with a clearer path toward achieving your personal and emotional goals, and with actionable steps to enhance your well-being and navigate life’s complexities more effectively.
