Does life lately feel like this?

  • A state of constant anxiety that’s taken a toll on your body, emotional wellbeing and close relationships

  • A spiral of strong emotions that feels difficult to manage, let alone make sense of

  • You’re in survival mode, everything on the outside looks fine but inside you feel overwhelmed and drained 

  • Mental exhaustion has become your new norm, leaving you depleted and burned out

  • You’re stuck in the same patterns and not sure how to improve or move forward

  • Pains from your past that you worked hard to overcome keep creeping back up and preventing you from showing up as the best version of yourself.


Maybe you’re facing something that’s making your anxiety and stress feel more overwhelming than usual…

  • A major life change or a new season that’s hard to navigate

  • A loss of some sort that has weighed you down

  • Strained family relationships that have burdened you and created conflict and pain

  • Triggers that have brought old wounds and difficult memories back to the surface

Hi, I’m Nardine

I’m here to help you get back to feeling like YOU again.

I am passionate about helping women who feel burdened by anxiety, unresolved trauma and difficult family relationships, move forward with renewed strength and clarity.

Over the last two decades, I have supported many women in finding relief through therapy, using various approaches that blend short term, solution-focused tools with deeper work that gets to the root of the issues.

My clients often share that our work has transformed their current pains into strengths and allowed them to move from surviving to thriving. They walk away from therapy with a greater understanding of their emotions, needs and patterns. They feel equipped with the right tools to create real change.

Throughout this journey with me, you can count on finding a space that’s warm, honest and challenging, where you feel seen and supported.

How I Can Help?

  • Whether you can name “that” traumatic event from your past or feel it’s a lifetime of unhealthy patterns and relationships, the common thread is a story of pain that keeps showing up today. Learn ways to heal from past wounds and break the cycle of trauma to create fulfilling relationships.

  • Navigating strained and complex relationships with adult family members can feel isolating, emotionally draining and stressful.

  • ( With focus on clients from SouthWest Asian, North African and Middle Eastern background)

    Seeking therapy is already hard enough, and it’s often a different kind of hard for women of color who feel the need to “explain” or “justify” their culture in therapy. Here you can receive culturally sensitive support where you feel seen and ready to dive right into the work that brought you in.
