I believe healing begins with feeling seen, heard, and understood. My approach to therapy is collaborative, compassionate, and grounded in practical tools that create meaningful change. I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, relationship challenges, and ADHD.
I aim to create a space where you can show up fully — without judgment — while also being gently challenged toward growth. Therapy with me is not just about talking through problems; it’s about building awareness, strengthening emotional regulation, and developing skills that help you move forward with clarity and confidence.
My style is warm, direct, and supportive. I integrate evidence-based approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), trauma-informed care, and strengths-based interventions. Whether you’re working through past experiences or trying to manage current stressors, we’ll move at a pace that feels safe while still encouraging progress.
I am especially passionate about helping individuals who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected from their sense of purpose. My goal is to support you in honoring who you are while discovering who you’re becoming.

For 18 years I have worked alongside adults through anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and the transitions that turn life upside down. I believe therapy works best when you can show up exactly as you are. In our sessions, we build on your strengths, move at a pace that feels right for you, and work toward meaningful, lasting change. Whether you are navigating a specific challenge or simply looking for a space to better understand yourself, I would love to connect.

Life is about change and some changes are more difficult to navigate than others. When we are stressed, anxious or depressed, it is a sign that our lives are out of balance. My focus is on providing a safe, supportive, nonjudgmental and compassionate space for adults, couples, and families to share their experiences and to help navigate through some more difficult life changes [positive or negative] to create more balance in your life. I have at least 4 years of experience in working with a wide range of people who are experiencing anxiety, depression, life transitions, family conflict, as well as symptoms of severe and persistent mental illness. I enjoy working with clients who are motivated to make changes to improve their lives, find purpose, and meaningful fulfillment. I would encourage you to create the skills for effective coping mechanisms for overall wellness. I can collaborate with psychiatrists, primary care physicians, social service agencies and will accept most health insurances. Deciding to engage in therapy and choosing a therapist can be overwhelming. Finding a therapist whose personality and style is a good fit with yours is important. More importantly, I see YOU as the expert in your life with unique values, needs and issues. I look forward to helping you to more effectively pursue your values and explore what keeps you from being the best you ever.

Hi, I'm Aïcha, a trauma and anxiety specialist offering somatic and attachment-based therapy for adults ready to feel safe in their own bodies again. Many of my clients come to therapy after realizing their body is still carrying the stress of survival. I don't see pathology; I see the necessary adaptations that once protected you. Healing begins when we meet those parts with compassion, not judgment. Together, we'll slow down, make sense of your patterns, and help your nervous system finally exhale.
I specialize in trauma recovery, anxiety, chronic stress, and attachment wounds. My approach combines Somatic Experiencing (body-based healing), Internal Family Systems (IFS parts work), and Attachment-Based Therapy to help you regulate your nervous system, release stored tension, and rebuild self trust and emotional safety.

As a graduate of the University at Albany with a Master's in Social Work, I have had the privilege of working in an outpatient setting for the past 12 years. In this setting I have worked with individuals that suffer from trauma, mood disorders including depression, anxiety and adjustment disorders related to life changes. In providing group, individual, family and couple's counseling I have helped individuals achieve the goals that they determine for themselves.
