Meet Zev:
I believe that all people seek meaningful, authentic connection—both within themselves and with others. My approach to therapy begins with the understanding that you are the expert of your own experience, and together we’ll work to empower you to shape and live into the narrative that best fits your values, strengths, and hopes.

I work with adults navigating trauma, grief, identity exploration, and relationship challenges. My practice is especially supportive for those from multicultural backgrounds or experiencing transitions that call for deeper emotional honesty and self-connection.

My work is grounded in relational and narrative frameworks that help uncover how past experiences shape present patterns. I focus on building trust and emotional safety so that vulnerability becomes a source of strength. In this process, we open up possibilities for healing shifts in the brain and body, greater emotional clarity, and more connected relationships.

Clinical Background:
As a bi-cultural clinician, I bring sensitivity to the complexities of identity and culture. I draw from EMDR, Narrative Therapy, Psychodynamic and Attachment-based models, and Anti-Oppressive practice. Whether we’re working through trauma, exploring loss, or strengthening self-awareness, I approach each session with supportive clinical guidance and gentle curiosity.

What to Expect in Therapy:
You can expect a collaborative space that centers your insight and lived experience. I aim to co-create a space where emotional transparency is encouraged, healing is possible, and you feel supported in your process—wherever you are on the journey.


I look forward to walking alongside you as we explore the shifts that can lead to deeper connection, healing, and meaning in your life.
