Hello!
My name is Shima.
Life doesn’t always give us the tools to navigate what we’ve been through, or what we’re still carrying. Whether it’s intergenerational trauma, money stress, toxic family patterns, or relationships that keep hitting the same walls, I’m here to help you find your way forward.
I’m a Certified Financial Social Worker, which means I’m also the therapist who talks about money. Money stress isn’t just about numbers - it’s tied to family, survival, shame, and identity.
I’m warm, direct, and I love to laugh. Expect imagery, analogies, and the occasional off-the-wall comparison - it’s how my brain works, and my clients seem to appreciate it 😊.
My work includes EMDR - going beyond talk therapy to work with your body and nervous system, not just your thoughts. My approach also pulls from CBT, somatic and parts work, narrative therapy, and solution-focused work. I help you understand the stories you’ve been told about yourself and the ones you’ve internalized, so you can start rewriting them.
I work with people navigating family dysfunction, boundaries, grief & loss, and cycles they’re ready to break. And if you’re from a Caribbean, immigrant, or BIPOC background and need a therapist you don’t have to translate for - I’m here.
A little about me: I grew up in the West Indies 🇯🇲✊🏾. When I’m not in session, I’m in my garden, doing DIY projects, or upcycling vintage furniture. I love creating and digging in the soil.
