Hi, I’m Wais, and I’m so glad you’re here.
I help individuals who carry deep wounds, feel stuck or unmotivated, and long for more fulfilling connections in their lives. My clients often come to me carrying complex trauma, navigating relationship pain, or feeling like they’ve lost a sense of direction and purpose. If that sounds like you, know that you're not alone—and you're in the right place.
My work is grounded in empathy, collaboration, and a deep respect for the resilience that lives inside each of us. I draw from a blend of trauma-informed, evidence-based approaches—including Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Person-Centered, and motivational enhancement—while always tailoring therapy to meet your unique needs, history, and strengths. My approach is both compassionate and practical; I’ll meet you where you are and help you build the skills, insight, and inner strength to get to where you want to be.
What sets me apart is not just my clinical training, but my lived experience. I’ve faced adversity, loss, and rebuilding firsthand—and I know what it means to fight for healing and hope. That journey fuels my passion for walking alongside others as they rewrite their stories, reclaim their power, and reconnect with their authentic selves.
Whether you're navigating the effects of childhood trauma, feeling unmotivated and disconnected from your goals, or trying to mend or build healthier relationships, I offer a safe, supportive space where you don’t have to carry it all alone.
You deserve to feel seen, heard, and empowered. Let’s begin that journey together.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
