Introduction

Saba is committed to supporting clients in expanding their self-awareness, emotional intelligence, and healing from trauma and psychological wounds. With experience in addressing issues such as anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relational conflicts, burnout, OCD, and challenging life transitions, she offers compassionate, personalized care. Saba works with BIPOC individuals, immigrants, and first- and second-generation clients navigating acculturation, racial identity, and cultural challenges, as well as young professionals and college students. Her approach emphasizes understanding clients within the context of both their inner psyche and the external systems they interact with. Saba considers it a privilege to accompany clients on their therapeutic journeys, often focusing on deepening intrapersonal and interpersonal awareness, uncovering unconscious patterns, processing difficult experiences, and empowering clients with coping mechanisms to replace maladaptive ones.
