With over 17 years of experience as a mental health provider working with diverse populations facing serious mental illnesses and life challenges. My extensive work in crisis stabilization units, as well as inpatient and outpatient settings, has given me a clear understanding of how resource scarcity negatively impacts patient outcomes. These insights drive my unwavering commitment to delivering compassionate, holistic, and patient-centered care. As a board-certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC), I specialize in medication management for conditions including depression, anxiety, PTSD, and mood disorders. I am focused on empowering patients to restore their emotional well-being through a supportive and comprehensive approach. I am in the process of launching a remote, private telehealth practice via the Headway platform. My mission is to provide accessible care that emphasizes holistic healing, hope, and long-term wellness.
Welcome!

As a Stanford-trained Psychiatrist, I offer medication management and therapy for a range of conditions including anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, PTSD, anger, stress, burnout, divorce, addiction, and others. I see adults age 18-60. I am also board certified in Addiction Medicine. I am not treating ADHD with stimulant medications at the current time due to in-person visit requirements to prescribe controlled substances. I am unable to offer therapy only if you have another psychiatrist (I will need to manage your psychiatric medications).
I am a licensed therapist who specializes in anxiety depression and behavioral addictions such as gambling, gaming, shopping, and technology use. I became an LCSW because, quite simply, I love people and have the deepest respect for all living things. I have a masters in Social work and background in Psychology, Sociology and Education.

Whether you are in a difficult life transition, navigating healthy relationships, or looking to understand yourself more deeply, I am here to empower you so that you can move from feeling "stuck" to feeling capable.
Outside of the therapy room, I am a proud mom and dedicated reader. As someone who identifies as a lifelong learner, I will bring curiosity and warmth to every session.

Hi, I’m Zahra — a licensed therapist and wellness guide who blends traditional psychotherapy with somatic and trauma-informed practices. I help individuals reconnect with their authentic selves, heal from past wounds, and develop the emotional tools they need to thrive. My approach is warm, direct, and integrative — rooted in both evidence-based methods and mind-body modalities.
Many of my clients come to me feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, struggling with identity, or burdened by unresolved trauma. Together, we create a space where you can safely explore what’s holding you back and develop healthier patterns in work, relationships, and self-worth.
In our sessions, we may use a combination of talk therapy, nervous system regulation, inner child work, and mindfulness-based practices depending on your needs. I also specialize in helping high-performing individuals (including creatives, professionals, and caregivers) move from burnout to balance.

My passion for helping others and giving back led me to a career that feels both meaningful and purposeful. My own personal experiences with trauma, anxiety, and depression give me a unique insight as a clinician — allowing me to show up for my clients with genuine empathy and understanding.
I believe that healing begins when you feel truly seen, understood, and safe to be yourself. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in both evidence-based therapy and mind–body awareness.
Many of my clients are high-achieving professionals, caregivers, or individuals navigating life transitions who feel anxious, stuck, or disconnected from themselves.
Together, we’ll explore not just what’s happening in your mind, but how your body and emotions respond — so you can reconnect with clarity, calm, and confidence.
I bring curiosity, compassion, and a touch of humor to each session. My goal is to help you slow down, breathe, and find the insight and direction that’s already within you.
