About
Taking a step toward healing, growth, or change can be frightening, and is also an act of courage and self-care. I identify as an Asian American, Pakistani, second-generation immigrant Muslim woman and a social justice-oriented therapist. I offer a warm, compassionate space while presenting my authentic self, hoping to foster your capacity to do the same. I am committed to cultural sensitivity and I attend to issues of identity, power, privilege and culture. I utilize an integrative approach that draws from multicultural/feminist, relational, mind-body based, and cognitive-behavioral therapy to meet your goals and needs. I specialize in working with individuals from marginalized communities, emerging adults, women and first-time therapy clients with a variety of concerns, such as anxiety, depression, adjustment issues, identity development, Asian American mental health, relationship issues, racism-related stress, and acculturative concerns for those of immigrant backgrounds. My goal is to build a trusting relationship with you as you embark on (or continue) your healing and growth endeavors. I believe that you are the expert on your own life, and therefore, I aim to build an egalitarian and collaborative relationship to support your goals and hopes.
