Meet Naceem

Are you ready to roll up your sleeves and go deep? I am a Certified EMDR therapist with a relaxed vibe and a firm, steady, and active approach to psychotherapy. I am committed to your growth, and I hope you are too.

You might be wondering how I got here. I didn’t become a therapist because of my own traumatic past. I became a therapist despite it. Working in mental health wasn’t exactly what my immigrant parents envisioned for me. In my quest to make them proud, I set unrealistically high standards for myself. I then fell apart when things didn’t go according to plan. I kept wondering why life wasn’t fulfilling even though I was following all the rules.

I discovered when I couldn’t measure up, I didn’t have my own back. I humbly surrendered to recognizing I had my priorities wrong. Learning self-compassion and acceptance gave me the freedom to pursue a career that fits for me. What good is making a living when you’re just going to exist and survive, rather than thrive? The lure of achievement and perfection is strong. I see it all around, and it’s pronounced in my own story.

Although my life took a lot of turns, I feel fortunate that I took the time I needed to get here. And now I’m am here to help you in your search for the life YOU want to live.
