You are a naturally curious free spirit, yet you feel confined by societal, cultural, or familial expectations that prevent you from being your true self. It’s as if you’re stuck in a box, longing to break free but unsure how. You seek to impact the world positively by giving love, kindness, and understanding, yet you also crave to receive what you offer. Conflicting advice on how to live leaves you confused, and you're ready to break through these barriers to live in a way that is meaningful to you.

I specialize in trauma-informed care, anxiety, self-esteem, and relationships, providing culturally sensitive counseling for BIPOC, MENA, and Muslims. Through narrative therapy, we’ll explore your limitations, their origins, and develop coping skills to foster resilience. We’ll create a path that empowers you and aligns with your authentic self.

If you're ready to express your true self and overcome challenges related to anxiety, trauma, or self-esteem, I’m here to support you. I offer a safe, non-judgmental space to explore your individuality and its connection to the larger community. Book a free consultation, and let’s begin your journey toward self-discovery and emotional well-being.

My main therapeutic modality is Narrative Therapy. It allows for multiculturalism and is a culturally sensitive model as it gives you agency and power. The other is person-centred therapy, which encourages focusing on your experience of here-and-now during session and having unconditional positive regard and empathy. My training in Gottman Method also allows for the exploration of relationships.
