Sanam Shamtobi, Ph.D.

Hello there.
I'm Dr. Sanam Shamtobi.

Licensed Clinical Psychologist
& Founder of This Life Therapy

I believe that human beings do not need to give in to the pressure of always feeling happy, grateful, and positive. Sometimes it is actually OK to sit with sadness, anger, and the discomfort of ambiguity. In life, we are not often taught how to tolerate discomfort, but I want to help you reshape those feelings into pathways towards growth and self-actualization.

My goal has always been to make people feel like they are seen and heard in a non-judgmental space, allowing for deep and useful change to occur. 

In my practice, I specialize in couples therapy, attachment work, anxiety disorders, and helping individuals navigate the various transition periods of life (i.e. motherhood, breakups, shifts in career, identity exploration).
