About me

I am a Professional Clinical Counselor licensed in Ohio with 9 years of experience. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, ADHD and postpartum concerns. I also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse. I also have experience in Early Intervention, Child Development and Parenting Education. I have worked in schools, grades K-12 and in higher education.

My therapy style is laid-back and comforting. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, client-centered, and solution focused therapy. I also use mindfulness and meditation. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.

It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you.

I look forward to working with you!

I’m very grateful to have Kazi in this season of life. She listens and is understanding but also gives tools to work through situations. I know that she is there for me and she checks in during the week when I’m going through a tough time. She has been very helpful!

Written on Jul 10, 2023 after therapy with Kazi for 1 year and 5 months on issues concerning stress, anxiety, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, and adhd

I never thought therapy would benefit me, nor did I think someone would get me enough for me to feel comfortable to open up. She’s broken down my walls and allowed me to deep dive into my insecurities and find the confidence to get myself out of the deep in. I’m forever grateful for the guidance she has provided.

Kazi has been an invaluable resource to my son, who's been dealing with anxiety and obsessive-compulsive thoughts that have only ramped up during puberty and the stresses of his academic work. He looks forward to his sessions with her and generally opts to talk with her weekly, since he prefers to communicate in person rather than use the other communication options available. She's been really supportive and easy to work with on the parent-side of things as well. With her help, my kid's been able to develop strategies that he actually uses, and this semester has definitely gone easier for him as compared to the last! Highly recommend her!

Kazi provides an excellent listening guide while wandering through the psyche. She probes with insightful questions to get closer to the root of concerns, actively listening to where thoughts and emotions have their origins.
