LMFT, 12 years of experience
Do you feel that you have been pulled in a thousand directions? Are you struggling with self-care, low self-esteem, negative thinking, your job, or your relationships? Is it hard for you to relax? I help clients manage anxiety, and depression and avoid burnout. Together, we can identify your work/life balance. We'll use a whole-self approach addressing the needs of your body and mind to achieve your therapeutic goals. I also use mindfulness, cognitive-behavioral therapy, EMDR, motivational interviewing, and Psychoanalytic therapy to help identify and build a stronger relationship with yourself. Whether you are dealing with relationship issues, being overwhelmed, anxiety, depression, grief/loss, life transitions, acclimation, addiction, or recovery, I'm here to support you. Seeking therapy can be scary but it is the first step in helping your well-being. You deserve a space where you can grow, heal, and become more reflective. In our sessions together, I'll meet you with comparison and evidence-based techniques so you can overcome the issues and habits that are holding you back. I want to help you improve the quality of your life and provide you with a support system. I look forward to working with you.
In our first session together, we will begin with a brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you are facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions. We can also discuss what are your therapeutic goals for therapy.
My biggest strength as a therapist is that I have a lot of empathy and compassion for my clients. I come from a bi-cultural background and speak 3 languages including Pastho, Urdu/Hindi, and of course English. I understand the immigrant experience and acclimation as well as clients who are struggling with being bi-cultural.
I am interested in working with high school and college students and/or professionals who are transitioning into new careers or relationships. I also like working with individuals who are going through life transitions such as: breakups, divorce, marriage, retirement, parenting, and family issues.

She really is understanding of the diverse Muslim women’s experience and is relatable and direct, not wishy washy. She offers clear and realistic advice which is helpful and is very open to feedback/timing changes

Great session!
I help clients identify their negative thought and behavioral thought pattern and where they stem from . They explore how these negative thought patterns affect them in their daily lives. It is a collaborative, goal-oriented approach focusing on the present. I emphasize the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and how to learn tools to challenge and modify the client's thinking to improve their behavioral and emotional responses.
