About Afsha
I'm a therapist with extensive experience supporting individuals through a wide range of life challenges. My work centers on creating a compassionate, affirming space where you can explore your concerns without judgment. I specialize in helping clients navigate depression, anxiety, stress, relationship difficulties, and trauma. I'm particularly skilled at addressing self-esteem concerns, communication patterns, social anxiety, relationship conflict, and attachment issues. Whether you're working through grief, body image struggles, workplace stress, or the complexities of identity and belonging, I'm here to support you. I bring cultural awareness and responsiveness to my practice, recognizing that your unique background, experiences, and identity shape your journey. I'm committed to honoring your whole self-including your values, relationships, and lived experiences-as we work together. My approach is collaborative and grounded in evidence-based practices including Somatic Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and the Gottman Method. I believe in meeting you where you are, listening with genuine curiosity, and walking alongside you as you build insight and move toward meaningful change. Starting therapy takes courage, and I'm honored to be part of your healing journey. Read more Show less
