As a racialized, non-binary Muslim immigrant from Pakistan, my specialty includes the intersection of queerness and racialization. I also excel with clients who occupy diasporic identities, identify as immigrants or children of immigrants, and want to discuss intergenerational connections and traumas. As a radical therapist, I intentionally include a macro perspective in the work I do; this can mean acknowledging oppressive systems including imperialism, capitalism, and colonialism and how they make it difficult to establish resilient and communal mental health.

My goal is to give your family a safe space to work on developing skills and building relationships. I work with children and youth to develop the skills they need to cope with difficult emotions and situations, as well as empower parents to feel capable and improve relationships within the family. I provide a holistic approach to support the whole family and strongly believe that helping parents to understanding and supporting their child's identity is one of the most powerful ways of reducing risk around mental health issues.

When a transgender youth comes out to their family, the whole family experiences a transition. For youth, family acceptance, celebration and support are integral to feeling safe, secure, and authentically themselves at home. For parents, their child coming out as transgender means learning to reimagine a new future and gender for their child. Reimagining a child’s future can feel scary when first learning that your child is trans- parents and caregivers often worry if their child will be misunderstood or be the victim of transphobia or violence. These worries can make envisioning a future worth celebrating feel difficult for parents

I offer creative, collaborative, and strengths-based sessions for children, adolescents, adults, couples, caregivers, and families.
Personally and professionally, I have experienced the power of finding language that describes who we are and of being seen and supported in telling and retelling the stories that shape us. One of the ways we make sense of our experiences is through stories, both that we hold internally and that we share with others. It has been my honour and joy to join people in finding new and old meaning in their stories.

It's okay to experience all the emotions, even if they can be overwhelming at times. As a queer immigrant in a diaspora, I am especially effective in understanding how hard life transitions can be for immigrants and people of queer identity. You might feel that you are stuck in a place of no return and cannot see any path forward. You are struggling to experience a sense of belonging, and yet you don’t feel that you are offered any choice in life. Trauma (e.g. microaggressions, state-induced trauma, etc.) can disconnect you from yourself. My relational approach to healing trauma will help you practice feeling worthy, and loved.

Are you feeling stuck, overwhelmed or like your thoughts and feelings have taken over control? These can be very distressing and can impact your life and overall well being. I believe that therapy/ counselling can help us tune into our experiences and provide insight that fosters healing and growth. My background is in community mental health and I offer a supportive collaborative space to be heard, work through difficult emotions and explore new perspectives and possibilities. I draw upon clinical modalities learned through my social work training including cognitive, narrative and solution-focused therapies.
