If you’ve been living in survival mode for so long that feeling "okay" feels unfamiliar, you're in the right place. I work with adults, first-generation, and BIPOC women navigating anxiety, trauma, grief, and life transitions. As a South Asian Muslim woman, I understand the weight of balancing deep family loyalty alongside your own well-being. Whether your mind never slows down or you're exhausted from holding it all together, you don't have to carry it alone. Together, we’ll help your nervous system untangle stress so you can finally exhale.
I offer warm, somatic, and trauma-informed online therapy tailored to your whole story. Specializing in anxiety, nervous system regulation, grief, and cultural expectations, I integrate body-focused tools so you don't just "talk about" stress, but actually feel calmer. Here, your culture, faith, and identity are honored without judgment.
You don't have to wait until you're completely burned out to deserve support. You deserve a space where your mind and body can finally feel safe, steady, and at home again. When you're ready to step out of survival mode and reconnect with who you are, it would be an honor to walk alongside you on that path. Let's connect.
