About My Clients
I have been working with individual adults and couples in distress due to fluctuations in mood, changing life circumstances, difficult relationships, and uncertain identity. Many of my patients identify as having a South Asian ethnic identity, Muslim background, or both. But I also see patients across a range of racial/ethnic backgrounds for meaningful and reflective treatment. My current practice includes college students, early professionals, artists, new parents, and older adults.
My Background and Approach
I know from firsthand experience how fragmented we can feel without reflection and self-discovery. And sometimes, we engage in the same cycles repeatedly that prevents us from living more authentically. I work with individuals to identify these cycles and more importantly, decide if and where to disrupt them to impact positive change. In my work, I encourage curiosity about the self, use humor and metaphor, and believe that authenticity is key. I invite you to do the same.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
Given my own multicultural identity as a first-generation Southeast Asian Muslim growing up in the suburbs, my sense of being different was only highlighted as I got older. The task of integrating these identities in to one that feels cohesive was tough, and is a process that continues. I found a way to approach this task as exciting, rather than scary. I want to help others do the same with their set of identities.
