Throughout my journey, I’ve recognized the importance of undergoing therapy myself. Engaging in therapy has not only helped me process my own experiences but has also enhanced my ability to empathize with my clients effectively. It has taught me valuable lessons about vulnerability, authenticity, and self-compassion qualities that are essential for any therapist.Through my career, I have experience working with children, adolescents, and adults facing different issues from depression to anxiety, ADHD, abuse, trauma, cultural assimilation, transition between life events, parent-child relationship, and family conflicts.

I offer sessions in English, with conversational Urdu/Hindi weaved in.
My approach is culturally attuned, strengths-based, trauma-informed, and sensitive to Muslim and South Asian values. I view our rich cultural histories and collectivist roots as powerful assets — tools that help us build full lives and strong communities when balanced alongside the demands of an individualistic society.

Growing up, I have realized that there is a lack of communication, representation, and awareness of the importance of mental health in many Middle-Eastern, Latinx, and Asian households. This leads to many individuals in those cultures becoming oppressed throughout their whole life and experiencing many untreated phases of depression and anxiety without having the opportunity to be heard.

There's a reason you're here, even if you can't quite name it yet. Maybe it's anxiety that lingers at the surface. Maybe it's a relationship, personal or professional, that keeps hitting the same wall. Or a career that pays the bills but eats your soul. Whatever it is — you don't have to figure it out alone. I work with high-achieving professionals and their families. I've lived inside performance culture as an investment banker and entrepreneur, and I'm raising teenagers on the Westside. I understand the pressure from more than one angle. That lived experience shapes how I show up in the room.

Sessions in Hindi or Urdu are available if that helps you express yourself more comfortably.
Balancing family expectations, cultural values, and your own sense of self can feel like walking a tightrope — and it’s exhausting. Many South Asian clients I work with describe feeling pressure from multiple directions: the expectations of parents and elders, the values of their culture, and their own hopes for their life. Whether you’re managing intergenerational stress, figuring out how to come out as queer, or navigating interracial or intercultural relationships, therapy can help you explore these challenges without judgment and find your own path forward.
