I'M AMINAH

Some may describe me as a mother, wife, sister, and therapist. In reality, I am so much more than that. So are you. Society may put us in boxes but that doesn’t mean we have to stay there. I grew up often feeling that the available boxes never quite fit me. Let’s break free from who we think we should be or who others expect us to be and start living the fulfilling life we deserve. Join me on a journey of radical self-acceptance, self-discovery, and healing.

I’ve practiced as a licensed mental health professional 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.

MY STORY

The latest statistics on the prevalence of mental illness in the United States are staggering. I launched a therapy practice in response to these needs but also to destigmatize mental health. I prioritize providing culturally sensitive care. My goal is to understand the unique needs of each client and how their cultural identity influences their therapy goals. I utilize cognitive behavioral therapy which is an evidence-based approach used to examine thought patterns connected to challenging feelings and experiences.

My approach is also influenced by 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 am a proud LGBTQIA+ affirming therapist who is well-trained in providing culturally sensitive care.  If you’re ready to commit to prioritizing your mental wellness, I am honored to partner with you on the journey.
