I received advanced training at the Ackerman Institute for the Family and am trained as a couple and family therapist, as well as an individual therapist. I enter the therapeutic relationship as an authentic, attuned, active, supportive partner where a safe haven is created. Through our work, you will gain an understanding of what your triggers are while developing a new awareness to make changes. Quite often the coping strategies that we develop when we are young become maladaptive or hindrances when we are adults. This can be understood through the attachment lens.

I work with children, teens, adults, couples, and families, supporting areas such as autism, ADHD, anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, life transitions, tech layoffs, relationship stress, and financial strain.
You may be carrying something heavy—anxiety, sadness, trauma, ADHD, grief, or the weight of major life changes and expectations. You might feel unsure of your footing or your sense of self, even as you try to move forward. My work is rooted in understanding how personal and complicated these struggles can be. I walk with you through your story, helping you build clarity, confidence, and the skills you need to navigate life in a way that feels steadier and more your own.

Many are neurodivergent, LGBTQ, people of colour, or living between cultures and inheritances.

I speak English, Urdu/Hindi, and Pashto fluently, and have lived across cultures and continents, bringing close attention to symbolic and cross-cultural meaning.

My style is creative, conversational and down-to-earth. We may use art, writing or practical tools, but the heart of my work is listening closely to your story. I’ll help you notice patterns, explain the “why” and find strategies that fit your life. As a late-diagnosed AuDHD therapist with chronic pain and invisible disability, I bring lived understanding.

You feel like the black sheep of your family; like you never really fit anywhere. You feel like something is “off” but can’t quite put your finger on what is causing your discomfort. You may feel like you’re stuck in your past, unable to move forward and create the life you want. You’re tired of the same unsatisfying relationships that happen over and over again. You crave closeness with others but find it difficult to let people in. You worry about people leaving you. You might feel or have even been told by family in one way or another that you’re the problem.

I specialize in supporting neurodiverse individuals and couples, particularly those who are late-diagnosed autistic and/or ADHD.
I work primarily through an Internal Family Systems framework, (IFS) incorporating elements of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and coaching. Since trauma often plays a role in the lives of neurodivergent individuals, I also integrate body-based modalities when appropriate to address trauma stored in the body.

You might be doing your best to keep up with life, yet still find it hard to feel grounded or understood in a world that can be demanding, confusing, or out of sync. Together, therapy can be a space to slow down, reconnect with your body and values, and let go of the pressure to conform or be “on” all the time. With warmth, levity, and reflection, we’ll explore what’s happening beneath the surface and make sense of how personal, systemic, and environmental factors shape your experience.

Though I've worked with clients on many different types of issues, I have special interests and expertise in military veterans' concerns, neurodivergence (Level 1 Autism, ADHD), grief, young adulthood, and relationship/interpersonal challenges.
I often work with folks who struggle with feeling “different”, misunderstood, and a bit like outsiders. This could be because of underlying neurodivergence, unique life circumstances (e.g., experiences as a military veteran), past relational wounds and trauma, or grief. Many of my clients come to therapy to work on challenges with self-worth and shame, internal conflict or dissatisfaction about the closeness of their relationships, and a deep questioning about whether or where they belong. Over time, they learn to feel more comfortable and true in their own skin and more at peace with their place in the world.
