Sevil Rahnama, RP Does this sound familiar?
You look like you're holding it together
On the outside, you're capable, accomplished, the person everyone relies on. On the inside, it can feel like a very different story.
- Your mind won't switch off, even when everything looks fine.
- You hold yourself to a standard nothing ever quite meets.
- You're exhausted from performing, achieving, and keeping it all together.
- You feel disconnected from yourself, unsure who you are underneath the roles.
- You've tried to think your way out of it, and it keeps coming back.
You can keep white-knuckling it for another year, or you can get to the root of what's driving it. That is the work I do. IFS helps you understand the parts of you beneath the pattern, so you can stop managing yourself and start feeling like yourself again.
Anxiety, depression, loneliness, addiction, or feeling stuck often rise from deep wounds your younger self once hid to survive.
As children, we learn to protect our most tender parts. We build layers of strength and silence, meant to keep the world from touching what already hurts. They hold us, until life's storms reveal their edges. In trying to stay safe, we add more and more armour, but what once helped us endure eventually distances us from others, and from ourselves.
Your strength has never lived in the armour. It lives in the quiet, enduring light within you, the self-healing force that has always been waiting to guide you home.
There is nothing wrong with you. It is simply time. Time to turn inward, let old defenses loosen, and step into the person you were always meant to become.
Hi there, I'm Sevil.
I bring both clinical training and lived understanding to my work. Through my own healing journey, I have come to know something of the pain, fear, courage, and beauty of transformation, and that experience deeply shapes the presence I bring into the therapy room.
I blend Psychodynamic Therapy and Internal Family Systems (IFS) to help you gently explore your inner world. My style is warm, playful, and direct, I'll support you fully, but I won't let your stuck parts run the show. Clients often describe me as warm, playful, intuitive, and real.

Individual therapy
Individual therapy offers a space using psychodynamic therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and somatic awareness, creating lasting change in how you relate to yourself, others, and your life. We slow things down, listen to the parts of you that have been carrying too much, and work toward greater clarity, inner safety, and self-trust.

Couples therapy
Couples therapy supports you toward clearer communication, deeper understanding, emotional safety, and more meaningful connection.
