About Me

My name is Selima Jumarali and I am a queer, Indo-Caribbean, Muslim femme of color. I offer compassionate listening, authentic validation, critical questions and reflections, and skill development for coping with trauma and triggers. I support my clients with: exploring your racial, gender, sexual, and/or religious/faith identities; surviving and thriving in an oppressive world with multiple marginalized identities; navigating chronic illness or health concerns; developing self-compassion and self-acceptance; and moving through, and growing around, grief.

I can help you feel a greater sense of control and acceptance over your emotions (the good, the bad, the ugly); better predict how you will feel when and why; understand what your feelings are signaling to you; and help you quiet your inner critic and practice self-compassion. I will help you build healthy relationships, navigate conflict, and understand when you need to compromise, advocate for yourself, or set boundaries. I can also help you gain clarity and confidence about your academic or professional next steps. Therapy with me is a warm, interactive space to feel holistically seen, deeply heard, and vulnerably held. Ultimately, I want to help you create the life you actually want to wake up to every day.

I am an integrative therapist who draws from Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Internal Family Systems, and Interpersonal Process Therapy. I look forward to working with you!
