My work spans diverse populations with a special focus on women and youth. I understand that you might be the eldest daughter, the people pleaser, or the fixer—quietly shouldering burdens while always putting on a brave face. I don’t operate from a distant pedestal; I’m here because I truly understand the challenges of breaking generational cycles while balancing work, family and life—especially when growing up in an immigrant household.
I offer virtual therapy, so you can connect with me from your office, your car, even your couch. Working with me is part strategy, part real talk, part laughter, and a lot of showing up as you are.
As a first-generation Muslim woman,I bring a culturally aware perspective to help you heal. I listen deeply and responds honestly. I won’t just sit back and nod—I’ll gently challenge you, offer insight, and stay right there with you as you figure out what’s next.
If you’ve got hopes and goals, I want you to feel in charge of them. If you’re exhausted by your relationship with your parents, your partner, or your own thoughts, I’m here to help you get some clarity and some peace. If you’ve been the strong one for everyone else for a long time and you’re finally ready to be strong for yourself—I’m ready when you are.
