Great therapist. My husband has even noticed a change in for the better since working with Nadira. I feel I have made great strides and feel better since I started therapy with her. I highly recommend her.

Working with my therapist has been an incredibly positive and healing experience. She is truly attentive—she listens deeply and makes me feel genuinely seen and heard. Every time I reach out with a concern or question, she responds with care, clarity, and compassion. Her support never feels generic; it’s thoughtful, grounding, and tailored to what I need in the moment.
I’ve felt consistently guided, understood, and encouraged throughout our work together. She creates a safe space where I can be honest and vulnerable, and I always leave our sessions feeling lighter, supported, and more equipped to handle life’s challenges. I’m truly grateful for her dedication and the positive impact she’s had on my life.
I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a therapist who is present, responsive, and genuinely invested in their well-being.

Nadira is special! She is a gem of a therapist! She listens and doesn’t judge, but gives great feedback and advice. It’s as if I’m talking to a close friend and feel comfortable sharing anything with her. Great sounding board and reliable therapist! If your lucky to get her.. keep her!!
