If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or like you’re quietly carrying too much, you’re not alone. I offer a space where you can lay some of that weight down and begin to make sense of the emotions, patterns, and roles that have been shaping your life. Whether you're a student under pressure, a perfectionist battling inner expectations, or navigating tangled family dynamics, I’m here to support you. You might be questioning your identity, carrying unspoken shame, or feeling alone even when surrounded by others. Together, we’ll explore where these patterns come from and how to shift toward a life that feels more grounded and your own.
As a South Asian, East African Muslim woman and daughter of immigrants, I understand the weight of layered identities and intergenerational expectations. I have navigated a career change and continue to unlearn perfectionism, which helps me hold space for clients seeking clarity, self-compassion, and direction.
I draw from CBT, IFS, and psychoanalysis, with a focus on generational transference. If it feels important to you, I can also integrate spiritual perspectives. Healing doesn’t mean becoming someone new, it means returning to yourself with compassion, clarity, and a deeper sense of peace.
