Great to meet you!

Hi! I’m Zahrah :) I am a board licensed therapist specializing in Polyvagal Therapy, Sound Healing, and EMDR (beginning July 2026) for trauma, depression, and anxiety treatment. I offer an affirming space for young and middle aged adults facing many challenges and stressors. My goal is to support you as you navigate life transitions, family dynamics, cultural expectations, trauma, and other mental health concerns. My background as South Asian allows me to connect with people from diverse cultures and experiences. I recognize the unique challenges and pressures that can arise from navigating multiple identities.

My approach to therapy

I provide individualized support that respects your unique experiences, whether you’re dealing with family pressures, cultural identity issues, or personal struggles. I can help you explore your emotions, process distress, and build effective coping strategies through a holistic approach which includes traditional therapy and sound healing.

What you can expect from me

In our first session, we’ll begin with introductions and take time for me to get to know you. I’ll also share more about the therapeutic approaches I use, and together we’ll determine which methods feel like the best fit for your needs. Your comfort with me, and with therapy as a whole, is essential to building a strong therapeutic foundation. My goal is for you to feel supported, understood, and at ease as we work together.

I now offer in-person therapy in central Richmond near Willow Lawn. You’re welcome to reach out via email to schedule a free consultation.

Please note: If I do not accept your insurance plan and you are experiencing financial hardship, feel free to inquire about sliding scale rates by emailing [email protected]. Thank you.
