Meet Nausheen

A Straight-Talking Psychologist for Women Who Are Tired of Holding Everything Together

Hi, I'm Nausheen, a licensed clinical psychologist. I work with women who are tired of being the strong one, the caretaker, the one who always has it together, and who suspect there's something underneath it all that no one has ever really said out loud.

Let me tell you how I work, because it’s different from what you may have tried before.

I'll tell you the truth, and I'll do it with care

Most people in your life are probably kind to you, and kindness often means telling you what’s easier to hear. You may have even learned to read the room so well that no one ever has to be honest with you, and you never have to be honest with yourself.

I won’t do that. I’ll empathize with you, and I’ll also point out the patterns I see, including the ways you might be contributing to the problems in your relationships. That can be uncomfortable. It can bring up shame, guilt, and the feeling that you’re not enough. But I believe real self-compassion means holding yourself accountable from a place of acceptance, not harsh judgment. That’s where change starts.

Am I the right therapist for you?

Maybe you’ve gotten by for years just managing your inner critic. You seem fine, you’re capable, people rely on you. But in the quiet moments between the busyness, the thoughts you keep pushing away come back. You’re angry and not sure why, or lonely even around people who love you. Maybe a crisis in your life or relationship has you questioning everything.

You’ve probably heard “just get over it” enough times, from others and from yourself. I won’t say that. I will help you understand what’s keeping you stuck so you can stop fighting yourself and start moving forward.

What it's like to work with me

Clients describe me as genuine, down to earth, and straightforward. That’s not an accident. Honesty is one of my core values as a therapist, even when it’s hard to hear.

Therapy with me isn’t only about coping skills. We’ll work on ways to handle what you’re feeling right now, but you can find those in a book or a podcast. What I offer is the deeper work: getting to the why behind your patterns. I also pay close attention to what happens between us in session, because it often mirrors what’s happening in your relationships outside of it. Seeing that in real time gives us something to work with that talking about it never can.
