Support from adolescence through parenthood— tailored to you

Whether you're working through high school stress, navigating young adulthood, adjusting to life as a new parent, or trying to show up for your child in a hard season—therapy here is built to fit your life and what matters most to you.

Teens (ages 13-18)

Adolescence can bring big feelings, social stress, and pressure from every direction. I support teens navigating anxiety, emotional outbursts, identity shifts, family conflict, school burnout, and depression.

Young Adults (ages 18-30)

Whether you're in college, launching a career, or stuck in between, young adulthood can feel overwhelming. I help clients work through anxiety, trauma, relationship patterns, grief, burnout, and finding meaning in major life transitions.

Parents & Caregivers

When your child is struggling—emotionally, behaviorally, or with their identity—it can feel hard to know how to help. I work with parents of children, teens, and young adults to build confidence, reduce conflict, and strengthen connection at home.

New & Expectant Parents (Perinatal Mental Health)

The transition into parenthood is life-altering—emotionally, physically, and relationally. I support new and expecting parents through anxiety, postpartum depression, birth trauma, and identity changes. You don’t have to go through it alone, and it’s okay if this stage looks and feels different than you expected.

Hi there, I’m Sina

I’m a therapist, mom, researcher, and someone who knows how heavy life can feel when you're in the thick of it. Whether you're growing up, raising someone else, or trying to keep your footing during a major life shift, you're not meant to figure it all out alone.

Therapy doesn’t have to feel intimidating or clinical. Here’s what working together actually looks like:

  • Collaboration

    We begin with a conversation—not an evaluation. The first session is about understanding what’s going on, what matters to you, and what you hope might change. Whether you're coming in for yourself or your child, you’ll be met with curiosity and care—not judgment or assumptions.

  • Personalization

    There’s no one-size-fits-all approach here. After our initial sessions, we’ll develop a plan tailored to your goals and needs. That might include individual therapy, group skills training, parent coaching—or a thoughtful combination. You’ll always know the “why” behind what we’re doing.

  • Relationship Centered

    My approach is trauma-informed and grounded in evidence-based therapies like DBT and CBT—but the heart of the work is our relationship. Progress happens when you feel supported, understood, and genuinely engaged. Therapy here is structured and intentional, but always rooted in real, human connection.

My Approach, Training & Why It Matters

The therapy approaches I use aren’t just buzzwords—they’re tools I’ve trained in deeply because they work. They’re grounded in research, but more importantly, they’re adaptable to real life. Whether you’re facing anxiety, trauma, suicidal thoughts, or parenting stress, the right support can make things feel less overwhelming—and more workable.

My approach is integrative and collaborative. That means I tailor each session using evidence-based therapies— always with your specific goals in mind. When it’s helpful, I also coordinate with psychiatrists, schools, pediatricians, and other providers, so your care feels connected and supported across the board. You won’t have to figure it all out alone—we’ll do it together.

DBT

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers practical, evidence-based tools for navigating big emotions, relationship stress, and the kind of stuck patterns that can make daily life feel chaotic or exhausting. It’s especially helpful for teens and young adults who feel things deeply and need support building more stability, clarity, and self-trust. In our work together, DBT isn’t just about learning skills—it’s about figuring out how to use them in real life, in ways that feel doable, personal, and meaningful.

CAMS

The Collaborative Assessment and Management of Suicidality (CAMS) is a therapeutic framework I use with individuals who are feeling hopeless, overwhelmed, or unsure whether life can get better. It’s not just about assessing risk—it’s about understanding what’s driving the pain, building trust, and working together to find relief that lasts. It’s structured, compassionate care that keeps you safe, meets you where you are—and helps you move toward something more hopeful.

SPACE

SPACE (Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions) is a parent-based treatment that helps you respond more effectively to your child’s anxiety or OCD—without needing your child to be in therapy. Developed at the Yale Child Study Center, SPACE gives parents clear tools to reduce accommodation, set healthy boundaries, and support a child’s growth with confidence and compassion. In our work together, we’ll focus on shifting patterns that may be keeping things stuck—so your home feels calmer, your parenting feels more grounded, and your child can begin to build their own coping skills.

Person-Centered

Person-Centered Therapy is a relational approach grounded in empathy, authenticity, and deep respect for your lived experience. Rather than trying to “fix” you, this therapy creates space for you to feel seen, heard, and supported—so you can make sense of what you’re going through and move forward in a way that feels right for you.

Trauma Informed

Trauma-Informed Therapy is an approach rooted in safety, collaboration, and respect for what you’ve lived through. It recognizes that trauma can affect how you experience the world, your relationships, and even yourself. Rather than pushing you to revisit the past before you're ready, it creates space to feel grounded, supported, and in control—so you can heal in a way that feels steady and empowering.

Meaning Oriented

Meaning-Oriented Therapy is grounded in the belief that healing often comes from making sense of what we’re going through. It’s not about quick fixes—it’s about exploring the deeper questions beneath the struggle: Why is this so painful? What does this mean for who I am? What now? Together, we’ll create space to reflect, clarify what matters most to you, and move toward a life that feels more connected, purposeful, and true to who you are.
