Derner School of Psychology at Adelphi University and enjoys working with patients in both individual and couple’s therapy. She sees patients for issues relating to depression, anxiety, identity, and relationship struggles.

As a first-generation Indian- and Muslim-American, she hopes to help other treatment providers understand the nuances of this population’s experiences.

Her motto is: just keep curious.
