Nadia provides client-centered, strengths-based therapy for young adults and adults navigating life’s challenges. She works with individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, perfectionism, interpersonal difficulties, life transitions, and emotion dysregulation. She has expertise supporting high-achieving professionals and students in high-stress work or academic environments, and brings lived experience and a culturally responsive perspective to her work with clients from immigrant and first-generation backgrounds.
Nadia’s approach is collaborative, warm, and empathetic. She works with you to understand what feels challenging right now and offers practical strategies, insight, and steady support as you move through those experiences.
Her therapeutic approach is integrative, drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), motivational interviewing, and relational psychodynamic therapy. She has received training in DBT through Behavioral Tech and in Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) through NOCD Academy.
As a daughter of immigrants with Middle Eastern and South Asian roots, Nadia understands the complexities of navigating multiple identities and the unique challenges facing marginalized communities in the United States. She has experience working with clients from diverse cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds and is committed to practicing through an anti-oppressive, culturally responsive, and trauma-informed lens.
Nadia is an honors graduate of the Silberman School of Social Work at Hunter College. During her graduate training, she provided individual therapy in a community mental health clinic and staffed a national mental health helpline. Before becoming a therapist, she worked in both nonprofit and corporate settings. She holds a B.A. from the University of Pennsylvania. Nadia is a lifelong learner, always expanding her knowledge and skill set to better support her clients.
