Life is filled with ups and downs that leave us feeling lost or overwhelmed. If you struggle with difficult emotions, anxiety, depression, or relationship issues, know that you're not alone. I offer a warm and welcoming space, rooted in compassion and understanding, where you can share your story without fear of judgment. I understand that reaching out for help can be daunting, but know that you're taking a courageous step toward healing and growth. Using DBT, CBT & Person-certred therapy - we'll embark on a journey of self-discovery and resilience, where your feelings are honored and your experiences are met with empathy.
Raised Muslim, I empathize with cultural barriers to mental health. Most of my clientele are adults and teens, particularly people of color (black, colored, indian, etc.) and marginalized communities (LGBTQIA+). My international experience(USA, Canada, RSA) makes me a common choice for South Africans living abroad.
Drawing from diverse perspectives and client-centered methods, I'm understanding of societal influences on your life. Incorporating mindfulness, interpersonal techniques, and stress management, we'll work through your personal issues at a pace you're comfortable with. Whatsapp or email me if you have any questions :)
