My name is Dr. Zamani (she/her) and I am a queer Afghan-American mixed licensed doctor in marriage & family therapy. I specialize in working with Complex Trauma for folks who have been exposed to consistent stressful experiences throughout their development ranging from childhood trauma, displacement, financial instability, and abandonment. Since I went to school for 9 years and had to complete a doctoral exam and dissertation, I have a wide range of knowledge and experience working from different therapy modalities and approaches. Most of which originate from eastern teachings and indigenous practices.
I particularly like to utilize a family systems/social justice/trauma-informed lens while incorporating experiential, internal family systems (IFS), and mindfulness interventions. My passion is in working with BIPOC/mixed/queer folks, partnerships, parent-child relationship, sexual trauma survivors, complex trauma, ambiguous loss, and friendship loss.
I center the therapist-client relationship and check in for feedback to ensure you are getting what you want out of our time together. In addition to being a therapist I am also a professor and supervise other growing therapist. I am passionate about the work I do. Reach out to me if you have any questions!

Sharing the lived experience of the ambiguous loss process of friendship. Have you drifted apart from a long term/significant friend? Or maybe chose to end a friendship that was meaningful to you? Coming together during a time of grief to honor this transition can help aid in the meaning making process of this experience.
