Book a consultation with me now by clicking the "Email me" button on the right! - As a Pakistani-American Muslim woman, my overlapping identities enable me to work with a variety of clients. I approach therapy with a culturally aware, faith-based, anti-oppressive and strengths-based lens, allowing clients to reach deep within themselves to explore their hidden potential and build upon healthy coping skills and resources to break self-destructive patterns. I aim for humility and open-mindedness; clients will find me equally supportive while gently challenging and redirecting them where necessary.
I aspire toward a model called "decolonial therapy", which sits at the crossroads of the psychological, political, ancestral, and collective, and is accessible while offering a path to liberation and healing. If you have financial barriers to therapy, let's chat! My commitment is to work with you despite those barriers and find a way forward for us both.
I am proud to work with many students, young professionals, and young adults, especially those who are trying therapy out for the first time, or are switching over from a therapist they may not have connected well with. Click the "E-mail me" button on the right to schedule a free 15-minute phone consultation within 48 hours to see if we are a good fit!

I enjoy helping my clients feel empowered by introducing them to EMDR, which is a type of trauma therapy that can be used to reprocess information and make new meaning of it. Many clients have commented on how the experiences that have previously haunted them for years feel much less bothersome after EMDR.
