Personally and professionally, I strive to create a safe, warm, and inviting place for clients where they can be who they are and feel empowered to set and achieve their goals. Many times in our lives, we know what we need to do to help ourselves but have a hard time accessing the internal wisdom which gets quieted by the daily stressors, or situational distress, unsupportive/toxic environments or significant negative events in life.

On our journey of life, sometimes we reach a point where it seems as if, we have hit the end of the road. Thoughts like, "I feel stuck", “Life is so meaningless” or “Will my relationships ever improve?”, can leave us feeling overwhelmed and drained. A deep sense of sadness, anger and frustration can get in way of our everyday functioning.

I am a Pakistani-American-Muslim woman of color. I have experience working teens and adults around anxiety, depression, PTSD, intergenerational grief/loss, self-esteem, and sexual and spiritual abuse. In session, I ask questions about how emotions were talked about in your family, social spaces you feel connected and disconnected from, and the impact of "should" statements on your well-being. Individuals who enjoy working with me are often individuals making sense of who they are and their place in the world and individuals processing transitions (moving to a new place, starting a new job, divorce, graduating college, etc.)
