I am passionate about working with adults with LGBTQIA+ concerns, self-worth, anxiety, life transitions, and more.
Life is always full of surprises, especially bad ones. Sometimes it's difficult to handle these surprises or situations on your own and they bleed into other areas of your life. Next thing you know you are overwhelmed, stressed, and anxious. Let me fill you in on a little secret...everyone deals with this. If you find yourself struggling more than you think you should, please know that it's okay! Life can be difficult and it's too hard go through it alone. Join me on your journey to a more authentic and renewed version of yourself.

Are you feeling stressed or worries about an aspect of your life? Are you noticing that this aspect leads to you feeling misunderstood or unfulfilled in life and in relationships? Making the decision to create change in your life and embrace all aspects of yourself can be a difficult decision to make, yet the rewards of doing so can allow for the growth that you are seeking. Creating change may mean coming out with your LGBTQ+ identity, forming or maintaining intimate relationships, communicating your emotions more effectively, managing depression or anxiety more effectively, or increasing positive thinking and proactive behaviors.

Awareness around the importance of mental health has come a long way in the last few decades. However, many people still maintain a taboo around its acceptance as a vital factor in an individual’s quality of life. I want to change that. Moving from Pakistan to the United States for my undergraduate studies has provided me with a deep understanding of working with people from diverse backgrounds, and a profound appreciation of all the cultures that make up this country. I am therefore, passionate about providing a validating space for clients from all gender, sexual, and cultural identities.

Unapologetically human-That’s my motto. Each person is simply trying to navigate life's ebbs and flows as best as they can. Societal pressures and life stressors can be an immense weight to carry alone. Trauma, isolation, depression, and anxiety add additional weight that can be unbearable to manage. Viewing each individual as a whole and unique person, I believe that fostering authenticity and self-awareness is vital for healing and wellness. Imagine waking up feeling fully rested and greeting the day with wonder and curiosity. That's what I aim for: to instill a hopeful, yet realistic perspective and unearth your true self.

In my work with clients I prefer to maintain a holistic focus on the individual. No matter what you are struggling with I find it hard to imagine that there is only one way of looking at it to understand the problem. My goal in therapy is to have my clients walk away from session with new insights and goals that allow them to orient towards creating change. Knowing what it is that you want out of life can be incredibly powerful, and therapy can be a great opportunity for growth.

It's no secret that we live in a world where finding a safe space, paired with a listening, nonjudgmental ear can be impossible to come by. Couple this absence of safety with trauma, anxiety, depression, grief and relationship challenges that impact us all, and we are left with an inability to find life satisfaction. As a counselor, my first priority maintains providing just that. My hope is that through our work together, you leave with a greater sense of direction towards fulfillment and living more authentically.

LGBTQ+ Therapists
Do LGBTQ-affirmative therapists receive special training?
Yes. Many therapists who practice LGBTQ-affirmative therapy have completed specialized training, either during their degree program or as continuing education, to learn the core principles of affirmative therapy and how to best support their LGBTQ clients; some have received certifications in LGBTQ-affirmative therapy. Prospective clients should inquire as to a clinician’s background and training to ensure a good fit.
Why might I want to see an LGBTQ-affirming or LGBTQ-friendly therapist?
Queer and gender-non-conforming individuals frequently experience bias and marginalization in day-to-day life. Working with a therapist who understands these unique challenges, as well as accepts and affirms their identity, can help LGBTQ clients feel safe and supported during therapy—allowing them to better navigate their relationships, mental health, and anything else that they wish to explore during therapy. It is important to note that many therapists can be effective in their work with LGBTQ+ individuals, even in the absence of specific training or background knowledge. The most important component in therapy is the alliance between therapist and client, and this alliance can exist between individuals with very different backgrounds.
How can I find an LGBTQ-friendly therapist?
You may wish to inquire about a therapist’s expertise with your specific challenges or concerns—depression, for example, or relationship strife—as well as their past experiences treating LGBTQ+ clients. Prospective clients may also ask whether a therapist has obtained additional training and/or certification in LGBTQ-affirmative techniques.
How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience with LGBTQ issues?
Prospective clients should feel empowered to directly ask therapists whether they have received training or been certified in LGBTQ-affirming therapy; competent therapists will be happy to explain their educational background and preferred approach(es) to help a client find the best match for them. Clients may also wish to ask how a therapist has treated clients with their particular challenges in the past and what they expect treatment to look like.
Are all the therapists listed in the LGBTQ directory themselves members of the LGBTQ community?
While therapists may choose to disclose their sexual orientation or gender identity in their profiles, the LGBTQ directory features not only those who have shared this information but also those who assert specialized training or experience in providing support to queer individuals, couples or families.
