Samira's Credentials & Information
She believes that most of our problems stem from the distorted way we view ourselves, other people, and the world around us. She firmly believes counseling can bring about change and she has faith in the human ability to overcome obstacles and shortcomings.
She provides a safe place where her clients can share their fears, secrets, habits, and hang-ups without judgment. With all clients, Samira remains genuine, authentic, non-judgmental, accepting and empathetic. As a therapist, she believes we cannot change what we cannot acknowledge, and therefore focuses on addressing faulty thinking. This helps individuals pursue their dreams by guiding them to discover their strengths and limitations so they can find purpose in life and seek to be physically, spiritually and emotionally healthy.
Samira is a mother of three children in their early twenties and is married to a native Californian (also a counselor) who shares her passion for walking alongside those on the road of suffering.
Samira has worked with veterans, inmates in prison, private practice clients, and in rehabilitation centers for men and women overcoming substance abuse.
