EMDR Therapy in cincinnati and online across Ohio

Learn to be present with difficult emotions and sensations and create your own internal safety.

Hi, I’m Sakina. 

You feel like the path in front of you is dark or unclear. Like there’s not enough light to navigate your way.

Sometimes life has a way, due to stress or overwhelm, of dimming your iintrinsic light. Or maybe you are still trying to recover from or move through difficult experiences or complex emotions.

I see you. I’m here to help you navigate your way.

I help my clients identify patterns that are holding them back, develop tools to calm difficult emotions and establish new habits for long-term, holistic well-being. I hold a light to both what is and is not working and provide tools and support as you lead the way at your pace.

Munira means “illuminated,” or “radiant.” Using evidence-based trauma-informed approaches, including EMDR therapy, I serve as your guide as you navigate your own path toward healing and growth. I am honored to walk beside the brave teens and women I work with who are ready to shed old stories and habits and confidently walk towards the life they desire to live. Ways that I support include:

  • Develop and transform self-awareness of patterns in beliefs, thoughts, and relationships

  • Develop tools for calming the nervous system and regulating emotions

  • Provide empathy and honor your experiences and values
