About My Clients
I am passionate about my individual work with clients. Being of Pakistani and Indian descent, I particularly enjoy working with South Asian, BIPOC, and Muslim adults and teens. I also have a deep interest in working with couples and family systems as they navigate complex dynamics. Further, I understand how our early experiences, particularly with parents, can affect how we show up as adults in the present day.
My Background and Approach
It is my hope to offer a space where you can process the dynamics at play. I invite you to take a stance of curiosity, self-reflection, and complexity as we examine the significant factors of your lives. I know the frustration of having much love for our important people but struggling to get along or “coexist.” Together we can identify the barriers keeping you from overcoming conflict and achieving mutual compassion and understanding. I understand from personal experience how much relational distress can hold one back. It is my hope to help you find a rhythm that works well with you and your partner or family. I use a relational, trauma-informed approach that implements Gestalt theory. As each client is different, I will collaborate with you to create a space that you need.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
We all deserve to be cared for, listened to, and seen. In my work, I offer compassion, understanding, and acceptance as one navigates life’s greatest joys and hardships. It is my hope to provide you with a space where you are allowed to come as you are. In a culture that prioritizes and values productivity, I welcome you to take it slow. We will explore your sense of self and identity and how that relates to your experience of the world. I will encourage you to examine how your collection of experiences has led you to the person you are today. To discover the person you wish to be. It is my desire that you feel more connected with yourself, your body, and your relationships. As a South-Asian therapist, I understand the unique balance of being raised in a collectivistic culture and living in a Western world. My aim is to understand what your experience has been and help you share the weight.
