My practice is mindfulness-based with a holistic approach: nurturing your mind, body, spirit, and learning to be being present with yourself & the world around you. We may explore your childhood, relationships, and difficult experiences to help you learn about yourself - or focus on changes you want to make right now.

Collaborate so you can heal and grow by learning to reconnect with your mind, body & surroundings, trust yourself, prioritize your needs, recover from people-pleasing and perfectionism, set boundaries, and accept that nothing is wrong with you (or at least be more open to that idea).

Caring, honest, non-judgemental, patient, validating, encouraging. Take a look at testimonials from past clients on my website: www.SarahAftab.com

Have history of trauma (which includes anything that has caused serious distress), experience anxiety, depression, sleep issues, have struggled with shame, stigma, self-love and relationships, and who want to improve their mental and physical health.

When I started learning about psychology I was fascinated with all there was to learn about how my mind worked. It was a new way to understand myself and I wanted to help other people do that too. I realized that I could integrate that passion with my social justice values, to combat ways oppression contributes to suffering.

In my work I use mindfulness and meditative techniques because they can help improve all aspects of our life but I don't push it if it's not your thing. I have experience working on struggles stemming from sexism, racism, ableism, and LGBTQ+ marginalization. I am certified in ART, a trauma intervention.
