A place to slow down, listen, and begin again.
Therapy with me is a slow, careful conversation. I work with individuals and couples across Washington — online, in a space that holds what you carry — who are ready to look at what’s been hard and want company while they do.
A small practice, by design.
Individuals

Reach out
Send a short note — a sentence about what brings you here is enough.
A free 15-minute call

Begin
If it feels right, we schedule a first session. If not, I’ll help you find someone.
Most of what happens in therapy is a kind of slow noticing — of what gets quiet, what gets loud, what we have always done — and of how the relationship between us becomes a place where something different becomes possible.From — About Nilüfer
Specific enough to be useful, broad enough to meet you where you are.
I don’t treat a symptom in isolation. I work with the whole person — shaped by relationships, systems, and stories that began long before this moment. If any of these feel familiar, we can begin there.
Short pieces, slowly written.
On Not Knowing
I believe that how we struggle with uncertainty — and how we respond to it — tells us a great deal about who we are.

How a session sometimes turns on a single sentence you almost didn’t say.
Repair, after the rupture
Why ‘coming back’ is the relationship, not the apology.
If you’re not sure where to start, that’s okay.
