I utilize cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), to assist clients with understanding how their thoughts and behaviors impact their emotional experience.
Counseling is an excellent method of learning new skills and developing insight for a more fulfilling life experience. I believe that individuals have the capacity to heal and grow through new experiences, and that therapy can provide the opportunity to create changes in a supportive environment. I frequently work with clients that are struggling with anxiety, trauma, depression, relationship concerns, and life transitions.

Utilizing Cognitive Behaivoral Therapy (CBT), I believe the power of change originates from our thoughts and behaviors.
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.

I operate from a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) approach which is based on the perceived thoughts and behaviors of individuals in relation to their environment and challenging life events.
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.

"My approaches include: thorough assessment, motivational interviewing, & cognitive and experiential therapies.
"I believe the difficulties in managing chronic illness are more than most of us can manage alone. Example: diabetes is managed best when an involved/informed patient works with doctors, adjunct professionals, & has family support. In my view, the similarities in treating the difficult diseases of diabetes and addiction are remarkable; few of us can go it alone. My experience has taught me that with informed patient motivation & support from family, peers & professionals, the "dis-ease" of addiction can be treated successfully. Recovery can lead to greater joy, serenity, & intimacy than anyone in the grip of active addiction might imagine."

I use directive counseling techniques and employ skills from several theories, including CBT and Person-Centered as well as Emotion-Focused.
Trauma, anxiety, depression, and relationship struggles-and the symptoms that come with these-tend to impact so many aspects of our lives. It's when those symptoms go into overdrive that we begin to feel lost and isolated, and that ends up affecting how we are and how we act in the world. When our fears, secrets, and distress build up over time and we have no outlet to let them out and begin to face them, those feelings become overwhelming and eventually, leave us feeling isolated, fed up, anxious, and drained. You are not alone!

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) Therapists

How does cognitive behavioral therapy work?

Cognitive behavioral therapy works by exploring how your thoughts affect your emotions and experiences. CBT helps you identify distortions in your thinking. For example, you may tend to jump to the worst case scenario catastrophizing or think in extremes (all-or-nothing thinking). A therapist can teach you how to push back against those thoughts to ultimately change your feelings and behavior for the better. They can also provide coping skills to better deal with stressors and challenges.

When do I know to seek treatment with cognitive behavioral therapy?

It’s reasonable to consider cognitive behavioral therapy if you struggle to manage difficult emotions or behaviors to such an extent that you are not getting the most out of life on a day-to-day basis. If you want a shorter term, concrete, skills-based approach, CBT is a great option. (By contrast, other types of therapy may devote more time to exploring your past and its effects.) The decision to seek CBT also depends on the condition you’re treating; CBT is an effective treatment for anxiety, depression, trauma, and many other disorders.

How can I find a cognitive behavioral therapist for someone else?

To find a cognitive behavioral therapist for someone else, you may want to begin by discussing the person’s problem, researching cognitive behavioral therapy, and assessing whether the approach is the right fit. You could then reach out to a few cognitive behavioral therapists in this directory, explain the scenario, have a consultation with those available, and determine who could be a good match.

Why is CBT such a popular form of therapy?

CBT has become a popular form of therapy because it is effective and accessible. Robust research has demonstrated that CBT is an effective treatment for many mental health conditions. And CBT can be learned in relatively few sessions, which means that many people can engage in the process, afford it, and see results quickly. It involves learning concrete skills such as disputing unhelpful thoughts; these skills can also be taught and spread widely.
