My ideal client is someone who is struggling with emotional or psychological challenges and is seeking meaningful change. They are motivated to improve their mental health, but feel stuck or overwhelmed by the difficulties they are facing. These clients are often looking for support and guidance to navigate life’s complexities and to better understand themselves. Their desire and goal is to have a more balanced, healthy life with meaningful relationships, a desire to thrive, rather than just survive. They want to feel understood and supported in a way that helps them move from a place of struggle to a place of strength.
As a registered psychotherapist with over five years of experience, I provide compassionate, evidence-based therapy tailored to your needs. With a deep understanding of the lived Muslim experience, I offer individual and couples/family therapy, blending cultural sensitivity with effective treatment to help you navigate life's challenges and achieve healing.
I understand that reaching out for help can feel difficult, but you’re not alone. I’m here to provide a safe, supportive space for you to explore your challenges. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, stress, or past trauma, I’m committed to helping you find growth, and lasting change. Take the first step, let’s work together to build a path forward.
