Hi! I’m Sabeer.

I’m the type of therapist who understands that we need to go deeper than surface level for real change to happen. You deserve a therapist who you feel comfortable enough with to share the really hard stuff so you can finally feel better about yourself and in your relationships.

My clients tell me that after our sessions they are able to look at things differently for the first time and they are finally able to make the changes they’ve wanted to for so long.

I provide therapy for adults:

I help people who struggle to love (or even like) themselves so that they can find self-acceptance that will lead them to the happiness and connection they deserve.

You might say that you are “conflict avoidant.” It feels like you don’t have a voice sometimes or all the time. This may be because a family member in your childhood was controlling or maybe because you just felt like you needed to keep everyone else happy. Now it feels really hard for your to assert yourself in communication with people who are close to you and it’s leaving you feeling lonely, frustrated and stuck. You want a better relationship with better emotional and physical intimacy, but you don’t know how to express yourself.

Through therapy, you can get to a place where you aren’t as worried about upsetting people. You’ll learn skills for opening up and heal past hurts that keep you stuck. You’ll finally feel confident, at peace with yourself, and like you can trust your own voice.

I also provide couples therapy:

I help couples when one or both partners are struggling with anxiety, depression, or past painful experiences in childhood or relationships.
 

You love each other but one of you is carrying something heavy that is bleeding into everything. They may be shutting down, pulling away or struggling to be present which can cause the other partner to feel confused or like you are walking on eggshells. It feels like you keep having the same arguments that get rehashed again and agin with no resolution.  The partner who is struggling often feels guilty about the impact they are having on the relationship but doesn’t know how to change it. Arguments have become more frequent and neither partner feels truly heard or understood.

When it feels like this, it can feel hopeless and like your partner doesn’t care. It doesn’t need to be this way.

Through therapy, you can begin healing in a way so that your emotional pains do not get in the way of your relationship. Opening up to each other can bring us closer, not push us further away. We’ll heal old hurts and find new ways to communicate so you can feel safe, close and connected again.

On a personal note…

I enjoy listening to music, and my playlist definitely shuffles around as the seasons change and my mood shifts. A mainstay on my playlist has to be Phoebe Bridgers. I also enjoy creative hobbies, such as writing. I write poetry on my free time, ranging from various topics and themes, but mostly revolving around love and the human condition. I love horror movies, horror novels, and I enjoy having deep conversations.
