I am a first generation South Asian Muslim American, so I have an inside understanding of what it's like to navigate two cultures and identities, which come with unique family dynamics and cultural expectations.
Part of being human means that at some point, we all come face to face with some sort of difficulty. This is why I believe that counseling can be beneficial for anyone and everyone. Having support can make navigating life's challenges manageable. Making the decision to seek help is already a huge step, so you should be proud of yourself!

Beginning the journey of therapy or picking up where you left off is a courageous step towards understanding and bettering oneself. Counseling is a collaborative process where we will work together to achieve goals and create the best versions of ourselves. I enjoy working with people of all ages but especially children. It is my passion to not only advocate for counseling but to ensure that the best resources are given and altered specifically to them. I understand that every person has their own story, background, and life path. I like to use people’s differences and embrace who they are with positive therapeutic methods.

For the weary soul, the anxious mind, and the broken heart… You have been trying so hard on your own, but nothing feels like it’s working. You have wounds from childhood, it’s difficult to regulate your emotions, and you wonder if it’s possible to hope again. You feel stuck, overwhelmed, and alone. If there's one thing I want you to know, it's that you are worthy of help and hope. Imagine, for a moment, that you could heal from your past, understand the roots of your pain, and experience safety in your mind, body, and spirit.

Most enter into therapy feeling stressed, overwhelmed, anxious, depressed, and/or not good enough. It is painful and frustrating to not feel in control of your emotions. Negative thoughts make it hard to feel good about yourself, your relationships, and your outlook on life.

Asian Therapists

Why is it important for a therapist to be culturally sensitive?

A culturally sensitive therapist would be respectful and considerate of different groups, with regard to race, sexual orientation, gender, and other factors that are important to an individual. These considerations can help a client feel understood as well as validated. While some people think highlighting race could promote stereotypes and bias, more understanding and knowledge about cultural differences is a positive for a healthy therapeutic alliance.

How can I recognize an effective Asian therapist?

You can discern a lot by asking how familiar the potential therapist is with different cultures, as well as asking how they might address issues related to identity, values, and beliefs. Also inquire about their education, as well as any particular training they may have completed, such as cultural sensitivity or diversity and inclusion programs.

What if the therapist does not have my exact background?

The therapist may not share a client’s exact background, but the therapist may have plenty of hands-on experience as well as the sensitivity needed for therapeutic progress. Their sensitivity to different populations will help the client feel accepted and comfortable in sharing their concerns and difficulties.

How might I inquire about a therapist's experience with Asian clients?

A therapist with an Asian background may have experience within their community, as well as broader cultural sensitivity. Ask the potential therapist whether they've worked with individuals who share your background. If they have not worked with similar clients, they may well know someone who has such experience.

Who is included in Psychology Today's directory of Asian therapists?

The directory of Asian therapists includes professionals who have shared their ethnicity in their profiles. Psychology Today uses this information to assist clients in finding a therapist who can provide a cultural match. However, not all therapists choose to disclose their ethnicity in their profiles, and they may not appear in search results for this reason; also, when the number of therapists identified as Asian is limited, the directory will also show therapists with comprehensive experience working with clients from relevant backgrounds.
