About My Clients
I primarily work with Gen Z women - college students, young adults, and teens who spend too much time in their heads, hold themselves to impossible standards, or struggle with people-pleasing, boundaries, and feeling like they're not enough. You might be here because you're tired of getting attached to emotionally unavailable people, always being the understanding friend, or feeling guilty for putting yourself first.
My Background and Approach
Hi, I'm Mariam! Everyone seems to have their career plans figured out, close friendships, exciting dating lives, side hustles, and a sense of direction, while you're trying to keep your head above water. You stay up doomscrolling, worry about the future, or procrastinate until the pressure catches up. Whether you’re experiencing a difficult breakup, life changes, complicated family dynamics, or the pressure to be okay when you don't fully feel that way, you don’t have to figure it out alone. I help young women (ages 16–30s) struggling with anxiety, people-pleasing, attachment wounds, relationship issues (including narcissistic and emotional abuse), self-esteem, perfectionism, and the effects of past trauma. My approach is attachment-based, emotion-focused, and rooted in self-compassion. We’ll explore the roles you’ve had to play to be loved, the patterns that keep showing up, and the parts of you still waiting to be seen.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
Therapy with me prioritizes the client-therapist relationship. My style is warm, interactive, and genuine, with room for both depth and humor. I’m especially passionate about helping people who’ve grown up in environments where vulnerability wasn’t safe – whether due to culture, religion, or family dynamics. The parts of yourself that you've learned to hide are all welcome. I value cultural humility, empowerment, and being able to talk about the messy or uncomfortable parts of life without judgment. Outside of my work as a therapist, I enjoy podcasts, traveling, stand-up comedy, baking, walks with my Havanese dog, and trying new coffee shops.
