Do you constantly feel burdened, fatigued, or overwhelmed by life, yet you’re always told to “be strong” and keep going? Do you feel stuck or unbalanced, but don’t know where to begin to feel whole again or create meaningful change in your life? Do you find yourself hearing, “This is just life, everyone goes through it?”
‍

Now, imagine what it would feel like to experience greater balance, energy, and relief to have time for yourself, feel more present, and reconnect with yourself and the people around you. That is possible.
‍

I am Aida, and I am a Licensed Independent Social Worker that strives to create a safe, supportive space where you can explore yourself, reconnect with your balance, and move toward greater wholeness and presence.
‍

Through collaboration, cultural humility, attentive listening, and my clinical training, I walk alongside you as you navigate your journey of growth and transformation. I have a particular interest in supporting individuals who have learned to suppress their needs, emotions, and sense of self in order to meet expectations or care for others. Together, we explore these patterns and learn healthier ways to recognize, express, and honor your needs.

Interestingly, becoming a therapist deepened my own understanding of how Islam offers meaningful guidance and tools for becoming the best version of ourselves. This inspired me to deepen my own learning through the Qur’an, lectures, conversations, and trainings and to thoughtfully incorporate Islamic principles into my therapeutic practice.
‍

I also recognize that Muslims come from diverse backgrounds and have different relationships with their faith. I do not assume that every client experiences or practices Islam in the same way. Instead, I meet each person where they are and allow their beliefs, values, and needs to guide how spirituality is incorporated into our work together.
