You’re ready to focus on one specific issue... anxiety, low mood, burnout, or a life transition... and you want meaningful change over a defined period. You may be new to therapy and looking for structure, clarity, and a therapist who understands the layered realities of identity: race, faith, culture, family roles, or being first-generation. You want practical insight, cultural awareness, and a space where your lived experience is understood, not explained.
As a Black Muslim trilingual therapist, I bring cultural depth and clinical focus to short-term work. We’ll identify one core issue and approach it through an ecological lens that considers identity, family, faith, and life stage. I offer structured weekly or bi-weekly online sessions (May–August) for clients ready to commit to focused change.
Starting therapy takes courage—especially if it’s your first time. I offer a paid consultation to ensure we’re a strong fit before beginning short-term work (May–August, online only). If you’re ready to commit to consistent weekly or bi-weekly sessions and focused change, I invite you to reach out. Limited spots available.

I am happy to work with BIPOC clients who are seeking counselling from someone with a shared lived experience. I also like working with clients who are dealing with ADHD or ASD. My preferred age group is young adults, but I also love supporting parents with their kids/teens. I have worked as a clinical manager and I offer clinical supervision to newer clinicians.
