Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, LCADC, SEP
Accepting clients Last Updated 1 days ago

Welcome to Shifa Therapy LLC, a space for healing.

Serving NJ and PA, my practice centers the diverse identities of the Global Majority (BIPOC), especially folks within the LGBTQIA+ community. I integrate different kinds of approaches like Somatic Experiencing, EMDR, and IFS to help navigate the stress, adversity, and trauma of life.

My goal as your therapist is for you to be seen and understood as you are. No code-switching necessary. Throughout the process, I will invite you with patience and compassion, going at your pace as you build new adaptations towards thriving.

Feel free to email me with questions about getting started. I look forward to meeting with you!
