Approach
My style is calm, curious, and collaborative.
I meet you where you are- not where you "should" be
We'll explore what healing means for you, not anyone else's definition
Sessions blend reflection with simple, doable practices for everyday life
I draw from mindfulness, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Narrative Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and trauma-informed, attachment-based perspectives.
My approach is flexible and human. It's meant to help you reconnect with yourself, one small step at a time.
Culturally Grounded Care
I believe therapy should make room for both laughter and tears; a space where vulnerability is met with warmth and curiosity. My work is rooted in cultural humility and social justice, honoring your values, lived experiences, and intersecting identities.
I especially enjoy working with Muslim clients, South Asian clients, BIPOC individuals, immigrants, and first- or second-generation adults and teens seeking connection, balance, and authenticity.
Whether you're navigating family expectations, cultural identity, faith, belonging, or life transitions, therapy can offer a space where every part of your experience is welcomed and understood.
