"There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you" Maya Angelou. Words have power, words build the world around us, your story has power. As a clinician I do not just treat depression, anxiety, trauma etc. I treat the person experiencing the symptoms of those diagnoses. I want to know your story, to help you regain control of your story, & help you write the next chapters of your life with joy instead of fear, frustration, or negativity. Trauma is my specialty, however I treat most mental health disorders - particularly depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, aging related disorders, & family therapy.

I'm Aminah and I’ve practiced as a licensed clinician for over 20 years. I’m passionate about working with adolescents and deeply committed to empowering my clients to reach their goals. I use a holistic approach that incorporates the varied cultural backgrounds of the community I serve. I value creating an affirming safe space for clients of all ages to explore patterns that no longer serve them. My clinical orientation is rooted in narrative therapy. This approach is client directed and empowers you to objectively examine aspects of your identity and stories that impact the challenges you want to address in therapy.

I've worked extensively with persons with anxiety and depression, both in over a decade of private practice and over a decade in the hospice care of dying individuals and their family. I help to differentiate between anxiety (non productive worry) and concern (productive worry). Once separated you can focus on what you can control vs can't and stop the cycle of worry-overwhelmed-depressed. I deliberately purpose my practice to a concerted collaborative relationship with my clients who I view as the authority on themselves.

For the past 19 years I have enjoyed working with a diverse group of clients that are challenged with depression, anxiety, PTSD, ADHD and obsessive compulsive behaviors. It is remarkable how patients begin to feel happier and important when they stop ignoring their physical and emotional needs. I love working with patients that seek to create a balance between their body, mind and spirit. I enjoy being flexible and learning what each individual is comfortable with, and work from their baseline to establish reasonable goals.

You feel stuck in a cycle of trying, but never feeling good enough. This can be especially true if you've experienced trauma, leaving you with emotional wounds that make it hard to trust yourself and others. You are often worried and trying to balance school or work. Your heart is racing, and you are unable to relax; everyday situations are overwhelming. Sometimes you feel alone, even surrounded by your tribe. You might wonder if they truly understand what you're going through. Perhaps you've tried everything to change, but nothing seems to work. This constant effort can be exhausting, leaving you feeling frustrated and hopeless.
