Reviews

I’ll always be grateful
In the fall of 2020, I was overwhelmed—juggling a demanding 60-80 hour workweek, attending BLM marches, and facing the end of a 10-year relationship. The uncertainty and fear felt like free-falling, making even the smallest decisions seem paralyzing. That’s when I started working with Shahed. Through our sessions and exercises, she helped me navigate major life shifts: leaving a toxic job, staying grounded during the marches, and freeing myself from the guilt and anguish of my breakup. Her support was transformative, guiding me toward a place of clarity and growth. With her help, I even created a short film about my relationship with depression, where she served as an advisor. Now, as I embark on a new chapter in Spain, we continue our sessions, with Shahed always accommodating my shifting schedule. Thanks to her guidance, I’ve become more in tune with myself than ever before. I’ll always be grateful for her wisdom, compassion, and unwavering support.

What It’s Like to Work With Me

Life’s transitions and daily demands can feel like too much, leaving you overwhelmed, exhausted, and unsure of how to move forward. Maybe you feel like you’re always bracing yourself, trying to fit into a world that doesn’t seem to make space for the real you. You long for balance, ease, and a sense of belonging, but instead, you feel stuck—caught between who you are and who you think you need to be.

In our work together, we will create a space where you can finally exhale. A space where you don’t have to filter yourself or shrink to fit others’ expectations. My goal is to meet you with warmth and understanding—not judgment. We’ll explore the patterns and beliefs that have shaped your experiences, gently untangling what no longer serves you. Through reflection, practical tools, and deepening your self-awareness, you’ll learn to trust yourself, reclaim your voice, and step into your worth with confidence.

Together, we will navigate the complexities of your life, helping you move from overwhelm to clarity, from self-doubt to self-trust. My goal is to create a space where you feel seen, valued, and empowered—a space where you can embrace the fullness of who you are. Healing isn’t about becoming someone new; it’s about coming home to yourself. You are enough, exactly as you are, and I am honored to walk alongside you on this journey of self-discovery and growth.
