| ਪੰਜਾਬੀ | اُردُو Accepting New Clients! Are you a queer Muslim seeking a therapist who's familiar with both your background & queerness? Are you a trans, non-binary, or poly person looking for a therapist who understands & reflects your identity? Are you chronically ill and tired of educating your therapists about your medical conditions? Are you a newly diagnosed neurodivergent or neuroqueer adult? If so, I want to work with you on your unique challenges, like navigating your transition, exploring faith and family in relation to being queer, sexual dynamics with partner(s), dealing with new diagnoses, and/or needing an HRT or GAS (surgery) letter.
As a trans, nonbinary, South Asian, queer, Muslim therapist trained at the LGBTQ Center of Orange County, I have experience working with clients like you, clients with marginalized QTBIPOC and neurodivergent identities. I also have 10+ years of experience serving chronic illness communities. I use EMDR, Imago, Attachment, and Gottman therapy to empower you.
Although I don't know you yet, I am familiar with much of your pain. My loved ones and clients in these communities have stories similar to yours - I might even have one similar to yours. It's my life mission to help ease your pain and to help you heal. Let's connect over the phone for 20 minutes and see if we're a good fit. It doesn't hurt to call!
