I work from a client-centered, trauma-informed framework and draw on evidence-based modalities like CBT, DBT, and ACT to tailor therapy to your individual needs.
As a daughter of immigrants, I understand the complexities of navigating multiple identities and the unique challenges faced by marginalized groups. I have lived experience with Middle Eastern, South Asian, and Muslim communities. I also have experience across a range of work environments, which helps me understand the stress and pressures many clients face.

My work is focused on competencies with the queer, LGBT, asexual, trans/non-binary, poly-amorous, ethically non-monogamous communities, in a sex and body positive environment. I also specifically work with couples, families, or groups where the motivational issues for therapy are not conflict with one another, but instead each can bare witness to the other and collaboratively work to support one another more fully.

I draw from Acceptance & Commitment Therapy ( ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and trauma-informed care, blending these approaches in a natural and supportive way for your unique needs.
So many of us spend our lives trying to figure it all out, to feel balanced, fulfilled, and free from anxiety. Yet often, that pressure to hold it all together is what leaves us feeling stuck, overwhelmed, and disconnected from ourselves. My work begins there, in the real, messy, in-between moments where you’re trying, stumbling, and finding your way forward. Therapy with me is collaborative and down-to-earth, less “let’s fix you” and more “let’s figure this out together.” We’ll explore what matters most, whether that’s relationships, boundaries, balance, or purpose and work toward feeling more steady, confident and connected.

Finding someone who not only listens but truly understands and can guide you through the complexities of your inner world, is extremely important. Whether you're stuck in old patterns, healing from the unimaginable, or just feel lost and need someone to talk to, I hold that open space for any discussion. My goal is to create a safe, nonjudgmental environment where you can bring your true self—your struggles, your doubts, your hopes—and feel seen and heard. I believe that true healing comes not from fixing what's "broken," but from embracing the full spectrum of who you are, understanding your story, and empowering you.

I don’t believe you’re broken or need fixing. Many of my clients are thoughtful and self-aware, yet still feel stuck in anxiety, chronic symptoms, or emotional overwhelm—despite all the tools, therapy, and self-work they’ve tried. I offer a trauma-informed, integrative approach that gently supports reconnection with your body, emotions, and deeper clarity. I view symptoms not as signs of pathology, but as protective patterns—your system’s way of trying to help. Together, we’ll create space to explore what’s happening beneath the surface, soften patterns of fear or overthinking, and release emotional tension held in the body.

Acceptance and Commitment (ACT) Therapists
How does acceptance and commitment therapy work?
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy encourages a person to listen to their self-talk. A person’s inner dialog can be indicative of how they treat themselves. ACT also encourages self-compassion; this can lead to a better understanding of negative thought patterns and emotional states. This understanding can then lead the individual to needed behavior change.

What are the goals of acceptance and commitment therapy?
The goal of acceptance and commitment is to expand a person’s psychological flexibility, a trait that encourages an individual to live in the present moment and to accept all their thoughts, feelings, and emotions, even ones that are difficult such as sadness and anxiety. In ACT, this acceptance is congruent with the individual’s values and beliefs.

Does acceptance and commitment therapy work for depression?
Acceptance and commitment therapy is effective for depression because it allows the individual to view their discomfort and suffering differently. Depressive feelings about relationship heartaches, for example, are a part of life. A despondent person learns to let go of their struggles and instead view their painful thoughts and feelings with compassion. This will lead the individual toward positive change.

How long are people typically in acceptance and commitment therapy?
A typical acceptance and commitment therapy session is 50 minutes long with one session per week. Treatment for common problems such as anxiety, depression, or relationship difficulties can last between eight weeks to four months. However, more severe cases may require more than one session a week and/or a longer time frame for treatment.
