You want a meaningful life and better relationships…
You’re in the right place.
You’re smart, creative and sensitive. you want to feel more confident in your decisions and have better relationships. I get it.
I’m on this journey with you.
Hi, I’m Sanaa
I’m so glad you’re here.
I bring varied experiences and perspectives to my work as a therapist. I help those who are highly motivated, creative, loving and sensitive reach their goals. We will work together to help you build individual strengths and to learn skills in the sessions that you can take with you and apply throughout your life. You might have issues with relationships, setting boundaries, self-actualization, and dealing with cultural issues with parents.
I offer short, intensive sessions. My goal is to help you find meaning and cultivate fruitful relationships as quickly as possible.
I am also interested in multi-cultural identity and in striking a balance between Eastern and Western cultures. I understand the complexities and the experience of having a South Asian and Muslim background.
My approach is collaborative. We would work together to address your specific needs and your desired goals. I look forward to hearing from you.
Let’s collaborate
-
Virtual therapy
You want to understand your patterns, break out of family dynamics, get more confidence, and have better relationships. And you want guidance from someone who understands your cultural perspective.
-
Couples Coaching
You want more from your relationship. You want to learn about your attachment, your patterns, and your conflict style. I work with South Asian couples in new relationships as well as those struggling with conflict.

Therapy Group
Are you a therapist of color looking for a peer group that helps you work with your triggers and come into better relationship with yourself and clients?
What clients are saying
I am so beyond grateful for you! You have seriously changed my life. I have grown more than I could ever imagine through working with you, and I can’t wait to continue to grow and heal. I feel so lucky to have found you – not only have you helped me but you’ve helped everyone around me because I’m always sharing nuggets of wisdom that I learn from you. Thank you!
I love that you give me tangible things to do each week to help me heal! It’s really helpful to be able to vent and speak about what’s on my mind, but it’s even more helpful that you provide me with the tools to continue to work on myself! I feel like I’m building a toolbox of resources I can use for the rest of my life. I also think all of your insight is super helpful! Having a south Asian therapist has been game changing – I don’t feel like I have to give additional context. I can focus on just sharing what’s going on / what’s on my mind!

“It has been a great experience to receive insight from a therapist that is understanding and can view things from a different angle. I have dealt with different issues and circumstances that I could not have worked through alone... Sanaa has helped me understand my personal trauma and how it affects my wellbeing and relationships with others. I recommend Sanaa as she delves in deeper to the issues that you may not be aware of.”

“We continually utilize the tools that we learned and we both openly share our experience with those close to us. I really hope this piece assists someone, because I am going to disclose the name of our couples therapist - Sanaa Hyder (I asked her first). [She] guided us immensely.“
