Teletherapy for New Jersey

Are you struggling with challenges that seem insurmountable? Are they causing you to feel overwhelmed, hopeless and isolated? I seek to help you feel empowered and work towards healing by providing you with the tools and skills to enhance and improve your life. I believe the therapeutic process is collaborative and should provide an environment for you to explore and identify patterns of behavior, gain clarity and seek resolution. It is important for me to create a safe and non-judgmental environment for you to be able to share your thoughts, feelings and experiences.

In my work, I have always strived to help others. Being a therapist & helping others through counseling has truly become my passion. As a first generation eldest Muslim - Pakistani daughter, I have found hope and healing for my clients and for myself in therapy. I firmly believe with a help of a therapist, you can break cycles, and start new patterns. My job is to support you and provide a safe space so you can explore all feelings without judgment. I use a strengths based approach with all my clients. Relationships are a focus of my work, specifically parent-child, family and sibling relationships.

If you find yourself with challenges that you desire to navigate successfully through, then you are in the right place! I believe, "without a struggle there can be no progress" as stated by the late Fredrick Douglass. My ideal client is someone who is looking to gain better inward insight and improve the skills he/she already has while discovering new ones.

I specialize in anxiety in women. You are someone who works hard at what you do, yet still feel unfulfilled. The continuous cycle of negative thoughts, difficulty in relationships, or life changes continue to sit at the pilot seat in your mind. While you know this isn’t a way to continue, you have had difficulty in managing these things on your own. Finding the time, resources, & support has been difficult. You no longer want to continue going day to day in this state and are ready to get out of fight or flight mode, raise your self esteem, and not constantly be on edge. You need a space to explore your core elements & want support.

Despite feeling accomplished in their careers, my clients usually experience difficulty asking for help, perfectionism, inability to connect emotionally with loved ones, uncertainty around drinking patterns, irritability, and guilt. I assist men, adult children of alcoholics, couples, and families to develop ways to improve communication, build connection and work through difficult issues in life. If this resonates with you, I can help.

Creating the space for reflection is hard, especially in the midst of our busy lives. Many people feel stuck in difficult patterns, not knowing how to be happy. In a collaborative atmosphere, I can help you develop a healthy relationship with yourself and others. With sensitivity, compassion, and attention to your strengths, together we can identify your goals and help you meet these. Using emotion-focused work is particularly helpful because our feelings offer us a roadmap to our psyche. In other words, our emotions clue us in to what motivates, reinforces, or is aversive to us. Emotions drive our reactivity, thoughts, and mood.

If you are suffering from anxiety, trauma, relationship issues, depression, anger, addiction or grief, help is here! With over 15 years of experience and 100s of clients treated successfully, I have the skills and understanding to help you lead a more content, fulfilling and functional life. I am a Certified Clinical Trauma Specialist with extensive training in Cognitive behavioral Therapy (CBT), Psychoanalytic Theory, and Gottman Method couples therapy. More importantly, I treat people, not modalities or disorders! Therefore, my treatment style draws on a number of different methods depending on your specific needs.

I am a licensed counselor in NY/NJ with 8 years of experience in psychotherapy. I began my career working in a variety of roles at Northwell Health facilities including Zucker Hillside Hospital and Cohen Children’s Medical Center. I have assisted children, adolescents, and adults in both crisis centers and weekly individual therapy. My current area of focus is working with teenagers and young adults. I aim to assist my clients in further developing their sense of self, working towards their goals, and maintaining an eager outlook on their future, while we sift through the barriers towards a better quality of daily life.

I had my first position as a counselor when I was just 20 and the compassion that lived through me then continues 48 years later. While developing professionally I enrolled in a personal individual and group training analysis and had a deep and caring experience as a patient. I consider it an incredible responsibility to practice as an integrative healer as I believe the therapeutic relationship is a privilege between two people. I continue to cultivate my personal practice, evolving throughout my life with an open heart, and open mind. My mother, and father remain central influences in my practice as a psychologist/psychoanalyst.

I believe pathologizing people is detrimental. The pressure to do all that, be all that, and buy all that can lead to depression, anxiety, and isolation. Cultivating purpose and safety in community can be both healing and liberating. I hold a culturally responsive lens from a decolonial feminist approach. We work on dismantling internalised narratives of oppression that diminish self worth while examining structures that weigh down on us and impede our mental health.
