Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, depression, burnout, relationship challenges, or difficult life transitions, I offer a compassionate and personalized approach to your healing journey. I incorporate body and nervous system work to help process trauma and stress, and I’m trained in EMDR therapy to support you in reprocessing past experiences.
I believe that the quality of our relationships directly impacts the quality of our lives—whether it's our relationship with ourselves or others. Using an attachment-based approach in my work, I help clients heal their relationships, empowering them to build secure, fulfilling connections.
I also specialize in couples therapy, using The Gottman Method to help partners rebuild trust, emotional intimacy, and communication. My approach to therapy is rooted in an anti-oppressive, client-centered, and trauma-informed framework. I’m deeply committed to creating a safe, supportive space where you can slow things down, unpack, heal, and grow.
It is my privilege to work with clients as they journey through their lives. I provide Islamically integrated care in my work, which is truly a passion of mine and an essential part of how I support clients on their healing journey.
To help you decide whether we would be a good fit for therapy, please book a session with me!
