Dr. Sadaf

 I am so excited you are reading this, and that our paths have crossed.  

My name is Dr. Sadaf Sahibzada, but I go by Dr. Sadaf

I am a licensed marriage and family therapist in the state of CA. 

I have spent over 7 years working in the mental health field, and have completed over 9 years of formal education.

I love what I do. 

I work hard to preserve my own mental and emotional health, and I want to work hard to do the same for you. 

The areas I am most effective in include reducing high/extreme anxiety, healing relational conflict (romantic and non-romantic) and tackling workplace burnout. I am also passionate about helping couples become families through the world of fertility services. 

Academically, I spent over a year taking a deep look into burnout and how to understand this phenomenon. Burnout and high stress will often co-occur with anxiety, depression,  irritability, and feelings of low self-worth. This is what I will tackle head on with you. 

In the therapy space, I aim to make you feel completely comfortable, safe, and heard. We are going to laugh, cry, have awkward pauses, hit a few walls, and get creative at times. I love feedback and want us to be active in creating the most optimal space for exploration, together. 

No matter what is going on, my ultimate goal for you will be to have your life feeling good again.  

Outside of the clinical world, I love hanging out with my puppy and spending quality time with my loved ones. I am a sucker for netflix docu-series, and have picked up reading books (for fun) again so that has been lovely. I want to tell you that I participate in daily yoga and meditation, but I don't. Like many of you, I just don't have the time. BUT, I do take care of my mind and body in other ways that even the busy people can work in. 

We got this, together!
