Is stress getting in the way of your
work & life? ​

Do you feel drained, overwhelmed, and disconnected, running on empty but unable to slow down?​​​​​​

I spent years in the tech world and understand the drain

What if that background hum of dread that follows you through your day slowly started to quiet down?​

​

What if staring blankly at your monitor wondering where to even start became a thing of the past?​​​​​

 

What if you could find even a thread of meaning in your work to make showing up feel worthwhile?​​​

​

Recovery is possible because I've lived it.

S.H

Mariam is a highly talented and compassionate professional who creates a deep sense of trust. Her empathy makes you feel truly cared for, and she has an incredible ability to connect the dots in your life story. Brainspotting with her has led to two major benefits for me:  


1. Rapid stress and anxiety relief – In some sessions, I arrived with intense anxiety or stress, and she helped me calm down quickly, almost shutting it off completely.  ​

​

2. Uncovering root causes – Even after years of therapy, some underlying reasons for my emotions remained unclear. However, in my sessions with Mariam, I was finally able to uncover the root of certain feelings and gain a deeper understanding of myself.  

 

I highly recommend her to anyone looking for meaningful and transformative inner work.

If you value high-impact and efficient work with fast feedback, Mariam’s sessions are for you. They feel like targeted debugging for the nervous system.

​

I came to Mariam after seven years of struggling with a persistent issue that other approaches (talk therapy or CBT) hadn’t resolved for me. I’d read about Brainspotting, so I tried it with very little hope.

​

In two sessions, I noticed a clear change: the trigger that used to dominate my days and cause so much stress, lost its grip. Two years on, the improvement has held.

​

Mariam brings a rare combination of analytical rigor and intuition. She has a knack for asking a single, precise, well-timed question that opens a whole new horizon. She creates a steady, respectful space without any need for over-explaining or reliving every detail. Thank you, Mariam!

Who I Work With

My clients might function at a high level externally while quietly struggling with symptoms that don’t go away with rest, time off, or willpower. Some of the symptoms you may relate to include:

Anxious

You constantly worry something may go wrong, you may get laid off, or be perceived as behind. Your heart races constantly at work. You don't even know why 

Exhausted

You feel drained after constant pressure to deliver. Sleep doesn't feel restful. You stare at your screen feeling paralyzed, and overwhelmed by your tasks.

Trapped

You stayed in a role, team, or company because you feel you can’t leave. You feel emotionally numb, or detached as pressure increases

Irritable

You react strongly to small requests, or feel instantly overwhelmed when priorities shift. You experience headaches, or stomach issues.

Unmotivated

You lost interest in solving problems you once enjoyed. Meetings, and  All- hands feel pointless or draining. You feel cynical.

Hopeless & Helpless

No matter how much you work, you can’t catch up, feel seen, or receive recognition. You feel like traveling through an endless tunnel with no exit

I am grateful to Mariam for her help in Brainspotting after the unexpected death of my father in December and then loss of our home to the Eaton Fire 3 week later.  I was not in a good place.  I had to work through a lot of grief and trauma and felt very out of balance.

 

Mariam is very patient and kind. Although I don't really understand how Brainspotting works, I can say that it helped me.  It helped me with the incredible grief I felt after my dad passed.  It helped me focus on the depth of the love I have for my dad.  

 

Brainspotting also helped me grieve the loss of my family home for 25 years and almost all our possessions. When I felt anxiety over the loss of our home and fear of fire, refocusing my gaze to the spot I associated with my dad physically resulted in me visualizing a cover over the fire that was protecting me.  Accessing a safe space in my brain to help deal with trauma and grief was really remarkable.
