You may be feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or emotionally exhausted, even though you’ve been doing your best to hold everything together. You might be carrying the weight of anxiety, depression, trauma, or painful relationship patterns and wondering why things still feel so hard. You want relief, clarity, and emotional safety and meaningful change that helps you feel grounded, understood, and more connected to yourself and others. I help my clients understand stuck patterns and build deeper, more meaningful connections. If you’re feeling unsure but ready for support, I invite you to reach out—you don’t have to do this alone!
I am a psychotherapist and clinical supervisor with over 13 years of experience working with individuals and couples. I believe healing happens when you feel seen, respected, and emotionally safe. I specialize in supporting adult women with anxiety, depression, trauma, relational issues, and domestic violence, using an individualized and empowering approach.

At Basira Therapy, we use an integrative, trauma‐informed approach combining therapies like ACT, DBT, and the Gottman Method to help with emotional regulation, relationships, and personal growth.
In my work, I offer a warm, supportive space where you can slow down, feel understood, and begin to heal. I tailor therapy to your unique experiences, values, and goals, and I hold certification in Traditional Islamically Integrated Psychotherapy. I also work with couples using the Gottman Method Couples Therapy to improve communication and restore connection.
I have over 13 years of experience helping adults and couples. I'm licensed in Illinois and hold additional certifications in addressing Domestic violence as well as the use of the Gottman Method for couples.
