Get to know me
Salam! I’m glad our paths have crossed. I’m Sima, a Palestinian-Ukrainian clinical psychologist, integration therapist, and birth doula.
I’ve always been curious about the ways we are shaped by the worlds we inhabit. The stories we inherit, the patterns we grow into, the relationships that nourish us, and the environments that leave their imprint on who we become.
The land has taught me to think in seasons. There are times for growth and expansion, and others for slowing down, shedding, tending to what needs attention, or simply allowing things to be. I see something similar in our inner lives. We are not meant to be constantly growing, healing, or becoming something else.
My practice brings together clinical psychology, trauma-informed inquiry, and embodied approaches, with an understanding that we don’t exist in isolation. Our emotional lives are woven into our bodies, relationships, communities, and the ecosystems we belong to.
Offerings
My work is shaped by years of study, the wisdom of teachers and communities I’ve learned from, and my own experiences of navigating life’s different seasons.
I bring these threads together in an approach that is both grounded in clinical understanding and open to the many ways we experience change, connection, and healing. Below are the different ways we can work together.
Integration Therapy
Exploring the inner landscape
A space to explore the patterns, emotions, and experiences that shape us. Drawing on clinical psychology, Compassionate Inquiry, and IFS-informed approaches, our work invites curiosity, deeper self-understanding, and meaningful integration into everyday life.
Birth & Postpartum Care
Supporting seasons of becoming
Emotional and practical companionship through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. From birth preparation and doula support to postpartum care and Closing the Bones, honoring the physical, emotional, and relational dimensions of this transition.
Integrative Care Journeys
Care that meets you where you are
Personalized journeys of care shaped around your needs, circumstances, and season of life. Bringing together psychological support, restorative practices, and, where appropriate, the expertise of other practitioners to create a thoughtful, interconnected approach to wellbeing.
