I am a bilingual (English/Spanish) Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 9+ years of experience supporting adults navigating depression, anxiety, grief, peer pressure, bullying, body image concerns, anger, and self‐harm. I also provide compassionate support to adults, couples, and families facing life transitions, relationship strain, trauma, and patterns that impact mental health and well‐being. My approach is grounded in empathy, cultural sensitivity, and collaboration, with the goal of helping clients strengthen resilience and improve their quality of life.
I’m a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and more than 10 years of experience working in behavioral health. My background includes community mental health, correctional reentry services, and private practice, which has given me experience working with people from many different backgrounds and life circumstances.
I work with adolescents and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship and family stress, self-esteem concerns, boundaries, perfectionism, grief, and major life transitions. I especially enjoy helping clients better understand the patterns they’ve developed, where those patterns came from, and what they want to do differently moving forward.
I bring warmth, humor, curiosity, and honesty into the therapy room. You don’t have to have everything figured out before you come in—that’s part of the work we’ll do together.
I'm a therapist who believes real change starts with feeling truly heard. I specialize in working with motivated clients who are ready to take action and move forward in their lives, rather than staying stuck. If you want to feel more in control of your emotions, your choices, and your future, I offer a comfortable, supportive, and judgment-free space to help you get there. Together, we will make sense of what you are going through and find ways to help you feel more grounded and confident as quickly as possible. My goal is to help you build on the strengths you already have, even if you don't see them just yet.
Whether you're single and searching, recovering from a recent split, or at the precipice of big change in your relationship, I am here to help you move through those valuable transitions. If you are struggling with racing thoughts or repeating the same scenario over and over - you're not alone and I'm here to navigate it with you.
I have always been fiercely passionate about helping others to amplify their strengths and manifest the lives they find most fulfilling. Nothing moves me more than to be a guide and a witness to human transformation. As we go through life's inevitable transitions, occasionally we encounter roadblocks or detours that can either stop us in our tracks or provide us with vital life lessons filled with wisdom and empowerment.

My education and clinical experience have equipped me to handle a variety of challenges, including relationship dynamics, communication, mental health issues, and life transitions. I am licensed in both California and Oregon. BS in Sociology Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, CA and MA Depth and Counseling Psychology Pacifica Graduate Institute, Santa Barbara, CA.
Hi, I’m Naheed. I work with adults (18+) who are navigating anxiety, depression, postpartum depression, relationship challenges, and life transitions.
I believe therapy is a collaborative journey built on compassion, patience, and respect. Every person’s story and experiences are unique, and my goal is to create a safe, supportive space where you feel comfortable being yourself, exploring your experiences, and working toward meaningful change.
I understand that these experiences can affect emotional well-being, relationships, self-esteem, and how individuals view themselves and the world around them. My approach is trauma-informed, focusing on creating a space where clients feel heard, validated, and empowered as they work toward healing and personal growth.
In addition to my clinical experience, I bring personal understanding of women’s mental health experiences, including the challenges associated with postpartum depression. This perspective allows me to approach therapy with compassion and empathy while supporting women as they navigate the emotional, relational, and identity changes that can come with motherhood and major life transitions.
I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Orange County, California, and working with clients statewide via telehealth. I work with adults and specialize in anxiety, relationship issues, substance abuse/addiction, and trauma.
My communication style is calm, accommodating, and reassuring. I want my clients to feel comfortable talking with me about anything, and I pride myself on my ability to listen without judgment.
I decided to become a therapist because I have always wanted to help people. Whether it was as an epidemiologist working with the physically ill, mentoring high school students in relational and life decisions, or being a loyal friend, I have always naturally been drawn to helping people through difficult times. Now, as a therapist, I get to enjoy seeing people realize their full potential, heal from their pain, and identify and begin working toward a new future of hope for themselves.
