Muslim Therapists in Royal Oak, MI

Since you are here, you are probably at your breaking point. I see you, and I would love to help you. Whether you struggle with individual issues, family problems, or relationship situations, together we will find a way to deal with it. Your needs will always be my top priority and I will be in your corner, putting you first at all times. Counseling helped me during a time when I was very vulnerable and lost. That's when I knew, that being a counselor was exactly what I wanted to do. I want to be there to support people. Being a therapist is not my job, it's my calling.

It takes courage in recognizing the first step in your journey to healing. Making that initial call and asking for mental support can be daunting, but it is a journey you will continue to grow from throughout your life. I believe there must be a level of comfort and connection between therapist and client in order to feel emotionally safe and vulnerable. Together, we will work on creating a strong alliance that is built on trust, respect, and compassion. Recovery can be challenging, and may feel impossible- creating the space you need to explore your thoughts and behaviors can help you process where your feelings are coming from.

Do you find it difficult to form authentic connections with others? Do you experience persistent racing thoughts? Do you grapple with frequent indecisiveness? Do you confront ongoing fear? Do you struggle with effective communication? Do you feel a sense of hopelessness and emotional numbness, and encounter challenges when making commitments?

Do you or someone you care about feel there needs to be a change in the direction of their life? Whether a change in behaviors, perspectives, feelings and/or emotions in children, adolescents or adults, I can help discover, in a collaborative process, what may be the source of distress. We can then work together to achieve your goals. I can provide guidance and feedback on how best to manage your life-stressors in a practical, non-judgmental manner.

I understand therapy can feel daunting, and throughout my years of practice, I have come to believe that empathy and genuine understanding are the cornerstones of therapy. My approach is rooted in creating a safe and non-judgmental space where my clients feel free to explore their emotions and thoughts.

Growing up in a culture between two worlds taught me to empathize with youth, parent’s, & communities dealing with identity conflict, familial & inferiority issues. I work to empower individuals toward a balance of interpersonal autonomy & self-advocacy embracing their world. My doctoral research & experiences supported a framework with diverse populations dealing with: depression, anxiety, identity issues, trauma, self-esteem, life-transitions, and most of all family conflict.

The journey of a thousand miles begins with one single step. We all face challenges in our lives that can benefit from the guidance of therapy. These times can be an opportunity to expand our thinking and heal our past. the life and social skills needed to overcome obstacles and live more satisfying and successful lives.

I have experience working with women and children who are survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, and human trafficking. I also have experience working with elementary school-aged children who have been diagnosed with ADHD and autism spectrum, as well as kids who struggle with impulse control, emotional regulation, mindfulness, and self-esteem. I would like to help you overcome the challenges you face.

Welcome! How are you? I know things might be difficult right now. Perhaps you feel like you’re staring into an endless void that’s gotten too heavy to bare. Maybe your anxiety makes it seem impossible to build or maintain relationships, or you find it difficult to let go of unhealthy attachments. Or maybe you just need someone to talk to. If life's got you emotionally exhausted, don’t worry. You're in the right place!

As a child of immigrants, I understand the duality of living in a culture that is so very different from one’s own. These experiences help to shape my work with my clients, and I am able to provide various different lenses from which to consider common problems. Whether you are struggling with depression, anxiety, PTSD, familial problems, phase of life problems, or are looking to gain more insight into who you are, therapy can prove to be a useful tool to move towards healing.

I am accepting clients for mornings and early afternoon! I specialize in a number of different areas such as, but not limited to: grief and loss, trauma, abusive and non-abusive relationships, family issues, life transitions and daily struggles. I work with individuals and couples who are ready to work on bettering themselves and their relationships. I am here to support and provide you with the proper knowledge and tools to help you achieve your goals! There is no need to filter yourself, if you need to cry, cry. If you need to laugh or joke about something, please do, especially if that's the way you communicate, just be yourself!

I have experience with Mood Disorders, depression, grief and bereavement, childhood trauma, child sexual trauma, PTSD, growing up in foster care, teen parents, domestic violence, cultural/identify issues. I have experience working with ages 4 - 75 years old. I have a passion for the minority communities especially the third culture population with issues such as culture shock and assimilation.

Do you feel that your life is not where you want it to be? Are you stuck and need help writing the next chapter in your life? Are you an adult experiencing life dissatisfaction, anxiety, or depression? I will work with you in a collaborative and a nonjudgmental space to help you feel better and succeed in reaching your goals.

You want to feel happy as you did in the past. As adults we wished that someone would have warned us about the many trials that we would face in life. Trying to balance being a single mother, navigating motherhood, caring for an aging parent, children with disabilities, and having strained family relationships are causing you to feel like you are in a rut. You might feel helpless at times about feeling at peace again. But you are seeking therapy because there is some hope that positive change can happen in your life? What are you willing to put into practice to create change in your life?

I have always been interested in exploring each person’s unique manifestations of courage, strength, and resilience. I believe when we explore our most vulnerable and powerful selves in a relationship of safety, presence, and understanding, we begin to uncover the potential we have to show up for ourselves and the things that are important to us in life. It is a privilege to get to know my clients, so I value your insight and honor the opportunity to support you in working through the barriers that prevent you from participating more fully in your life.

Are you or members of your family struggling with relationships or communication? Do you or someone in your family have trauma-based needs? I've worked exclusively with families and children since 2019. I help my clients understand why they respond the way they do, and how to respond differently. I specialize in trauma, and trauma-based patterns. I'm also comfortable working with people who are neurodivergent. Single parent struggle? I can help with that too! I've helped adults and children with self-harm behaviors, suicidal ideation, anxiety, anger, and other emotional, relational, and behavioral issues.

Do you desire to make a change in your life? Do you feel like you are not in control of anything? Have you been betrayed or harbored resentment or anger towards yourself or someone else? Are you struggling with sexual issues? Need help to heal wounds from the past? Are you in a never-ending cycle of worry, guilt, denial, and regret? Is being around others without feeling judged or ridiculed hard for you? Are you unable to sleep because your thoughts are racing at night? Are you not able to have a healthy sex life? If you answered yes to any of the above questions. Let me help you.
