Hi, I'm Shamim! With 28 years of experience as a therapist, I've had the privilege of helping people from many different backgrounds navigate life's challenges and find their way forward. I work with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, relationship difficulties, grief, trauma, and major life changes. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed by responsibilities, struggling in your relationships, or carrying the weight of difficult experiences, my goal is to help you feel understood, supported, and more confident in yourself.

Having grown up in India and continued my education in both the United Kingdom and the United States, I understand how deeply our culture, family, and life experiences can shape who we are. I bring that perspective into my work, creating a warm, welcoming space where you can comfortably share your story without judgment. I also offer therapy in English, Hindi, Gujarati, and Urdu, helping clients express themselves in the language that feels most comfortable and natural to them.

I bring 16 years of experience to my work and genuinely love what I do. I’m passionate about helping people feel empowered, heal, and move toward lives that feel meaningful and authentic. I believe everyone has the capacity to heal—sometimes we just need a little support along the way. I live near the tri-state border and provide remote therapy to clients in Illinois and Iowa. An Iowa native, I spent about a decade living and working in Southern California and Phoenix before returning to the Midwest to be closer to my (now) husband and stepkids. Yes—I traded sunny San Diego for a snowy Midwestern winter in December!

In my practice, I strive to offer a safe, affirming space for women and LGBTQIA+ individuals. I specialize in supporting neurodivergent clients and those living with chronic illness or disabilities. I also bring personal understanding to this work, having benefitted from therapy myself as a bi woman with ADHD and physical disabilities.

I especially enjoy working with young adults navigating the many transitions of their 20s and 30s. This stage of life can feel overwhelming and uncertain, and I believe it becomes far more manageable—and meaningful—with the right support.

Welcome! I am a bilingual Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 15 years of experience supporting adults and families. I specialize in helping clients navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, and LGBTQIA+ concerns (including poly and kink relationships), as well as fostering personal growth.

Are you wanting to make change in life, but are struggling to escape the same old patterns? Looking to empower yourself and create change in your life? I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor who has spent my career assisting men in achieving their goals, making lasting and fulfilling relationships, and facing life's challenges head-on. I have worked with adults across the lifespan to address concerns about relationships, behaviors, substance use, and more.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist (LMFT) with years of experience supporting children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families. My background includes working in schools, military communities, and private practice settings, which has given me a deep understanding of the unique challenges people face in different life stages and environments. I am passionate about creating a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients feel supported, respected, and empowered to grow.

Clients should know that I approach therapy with empathy, respect, and a genuine commitment to understanding their unique experiences. I believe that meaningful change happens when people feel safe, supported, and free from judgment.

My work is also shaped by personal experience with depression and anxiety, which has given me a deeper appreciation for the courage it takes to seek help and confront difficult emotions. Because of this, I strive to create a compassionate and collaborative space where clients feel heard and understood.

I view therapy as a partnership. Together, we work to build insight, develop practical tools, and support meaningful, lasting change.
