About My Clients
Living with the effects of anxiety, burnout & trauma can be overwhelming. Maybe you’re…Feeling disconnected from yourself or others. Struggling to feel present. Feeling like everything is out of control. Having spiraling/looping thoughts. Through therapy, you can: navigate triggers with more ease, process trauma that is stored (not feel stuck in past experiences), understand what to do when anxiety comes up/how to take care of it, and be present.
My Background and Approach
I’m Jamila, EMDR and Trauma Therapist in Seattle, Washington. I work with Gen Z and Millennial women who want to connect with the wonder and awe in themselves and get tools to feel more comfortable in managing big feelings. I’m passionate and committed to providing a safe place where you get to say what is really on your mind, process the difficult things, and shift into a place where you feel like you have choices, can be grounded in the present moment, and have direction for the future. Life in modern day society can get busy. There is so much to respond to, show up for, and do, it can feel like we all have the weight of the world on our shoulders. In therapy, there is no pressure to keep everything together or hold your emotions in. Sessions are an emotionally safe space to speak your truth without the concern of others knowing about it, problem solve situations you feel stuck in, and get a better understanding of what your emotions are trying to communicate to you.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
The stories we hold and the experiences we have matter. I am intentional about the pace, safety, and various feelings within each client I’m working with. Each lens inside someone is important and has space inside the therapy room. At the end of each session, I give invitations (similar to mini homework assignments) that are optional to try out in nature, at home, or within communities to support the connection you have to yourself, the environment around you, and make progress on your therapy goals. Clients have said that they feel completely accepted in the therapy room, not judged, and have been able to learn more about their minds and bodies. Therapy is a deeply personal experience and can feel vulnerable. I value the wisdom that comes from intuition and honor the pace of my clients. You will never be pressured to talk about something you are uncomfortable with. Choice is important, especially when working through heavy topics.
