| ਪੰਜਾਬੀ | اُردُو Sliding scale slots available! Are you a trans, nonbinary, or polyamorous adult wanting to be seen in your full identity? An adult seeking an ADHD or Autism diagnosis - or struggling with one? A queer Muslim seeking a therapist who gets both your faith and your queerness? Chronically ill and tired of explaining your body to uninformed therapists? I’d love to support your intersectional journey in exploring your queerness and neurodivergence, navigating faith & family, deepening your relationships, obtaining HRT/GAS letters, and receiving formal adult ADHD & Autism assessments. You’ve found a therapist who truly understands you here.
As a queer, enby, South Asian, Muslim therapist trained at the LGBTQ Center OC, I have experience working with clients with marginalized QTBIPOC and neurodivergent identities. I've also served chronic illness communities for 10+ years and am UCSF trained to diagnose Autism. I use EMDR, Imago, Attachment, and Gottman therapy to help you heal and empower you.
I may not know your story yet, but I’m familiar with the pain of living in a world that misunderstands you. My clients and loved ones share many of the stories & traumas you carry—I might even share some myself. Helping you heal is more than my work; it’s my calling. Let’s chat for 20 minutes and see if we’re a good fit. You don't have to do this alone.
