My client-centered approach is rooted in Art Therapy and Evidence-Based modalities. I specialize in helping children, teens, and young adults, ages 4-40, feel more confident and connected. My work is centered around the belief that people are fully deserving of respect, dignity, and a space where they can deeply feel heard. I facilitate a safe environment where feelings and experiences can be validated, and people can establish a sense of security and self-worth. I partner with children (and parents) to help them navigate their identity and sense of belonging in this world!

I received my doctoral degree and training at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. I completed postdoctoral training at the Mailman School of Public Health, Columbia University, and further training in research and clinical assessments of mood and anxiety disorders at the National Institutes of Health (NIH), Columbia University Medical Center, and New York State Psychiatric Institute.

I bring empathy, optimism, and playfulness to my work with children. I work with children between the ages of 5-18 on coping skills related to friendships, challenges at school, and challenges at home. I am also a neuropsychologist and I conduct comprehensive neuropsychological and autism spectrum disorder evaluations with both children and adults. I understand how neurodevelopmental and mood disorders affect children and I know how to engage children surrounding these challenges. I was born outside the US, so I am sensitive to different cultural perspectives a child may be exposed to at home.

I am a psychologist providing therapy and assessment services for children through adults. I have extensive clinical experience and am an expert Cognitive Behavioral Therapist. I’ve been trained by top therapy institutes, am a board member for well accomplished CBT organizations, and run the official podcast for the national CBT organization. I strive to regularly advance my knowledge and provide leading scientific treatments. I specialize in the treatment of anxiety, depression, panic, OCD, trauma, stress, insomnia, ADHD, defiance, and work/school issues. Many of my clients lead busy lives; therefore, I offer evening appointments.

It is possible to have a mind; your mind, that you can depend on and turn to when you are under stress. It is also possible as a parent to gain a new understanding of your child’s challenging behaviors and find this a useful resource to support your child in learning to regulate their emotions, elicit emotional support, and/or create safe and healthy peer relationships. I help guide and invite adolescents and adults to know more about what they are feeling, understand why they are feeling it in a particular way, and to handle their emotions in ways that benefit themselves and others.

I am a Bangladeshi-American psychotherapist trained at Smith College, and my primary goal in therapy is to help you live a life that deeply aligns with your truest self. Having lived in both Bangladesh and the US, I know firsthand the struggle of feeling as if we are “too much” or “too little” of the identity we are often expected to embody. As a queer woman of color who grew up in predominantly homogeneous spaces, I strongly believe in the importance of not just allowing, but encouraging and celebrating the full expression of our nuanced and glorious selves.

Cognitive behavioral therapy provides practical tools to help people overcome obstacles. We work with adults, children and adolescents stuck by emotions such as anxiety, sadness, fear or anger.
