Knowing that opening up about true feelings with another person can be intimidating, I create a warm space to unpack clients’ stories and uncover the root causes of issues with curiosity and tenderness. My practice is grounded in understanding the unique experiences of my clients, especially how systems we exist in and outside of us contribute to distress. I believe in the natural intuition and resilience of all people and highlight those in therapy so that greater understanding and compassion for oneself can emerge, while also empowering clients with new perspectives and tools.
I am trauma-informed with training in art therapy. I work with clients on issues including anxiety/depression, relationship challenges, identity, and life transitions. My practice is informed by my experiences as a queer Bangladeshi-American woman and I enjoy working with first/second gen immigrants, interracial/cultural, and queer individuals and couples.
We face so many challenges every day that keep us from living our ideal lives. I believe the combination of understanding yourself, undoing unhelpful patterns, and a little humor along the way can lead to a more satisfying life. I am honored to work alongside my clients on this journey. Reach out for a consult or appointment, I'd love to meet.

Groups
Art Therapy Group
Designed for those looking to engage their creative sides and connect with others while doing so, this art therapy group uses mark-making in unconventional ways to practice letting go of control and seeing what emerges. We’ll learn about the benefits of art making, practicing creative expression with others, and most importantly, building a time in our days to slow down and experience what is in front of us.
