About My Clients
I believe you are innately gifted. My role is to help you tap into those existing strengths to overcome life’s most difficult chapters. We will shift your perspective from feeling like a passenger in your own life to becoming an active navigator. By fostering an "internal locus of control," we work to ensure that even when the river of life hits a rough ebb, you possess the self-awareness and empowerment to respond with meaning and resilience.
My Background and Approach
As a Licensed Graduate Professional Counselor in Washington, DC, my practice is rooted in cultural humility and radical self-acceptance. My diverse background—ranging from addiction recovery to birth work as a full-spectrum doula—allows me to offer a uniquely trauma-informed perspective. I don't believe in "one size fits all" counseling. You are uniquely made, and your therapy should be, too. My approach is: Strengths-Based: Identifying what is already working to fix what isn't. Community-Centered: Recognizing the power of belonging/identity Radically Individual: Tailored specifically to your forms of self-expression and personal needs. By fostering an "internal locus of control," we work to ensure that even when the river of life hits a rough ebb, you possess the self-awareness and empowerment to respond with meaning and resilience.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I am a proud mom of four beautiful sons, who I refer to as my SON-shines. I am an untraditional Christian, who is married to a Muslim American man. I believe that we all are interconnected by a higher power, which radiates and shines within us all. As such, I am a huge advocate of self-love and acceptance. I love to see myself as a conduit by which clients can tap into the best qualities in their journeys to wellness, inner peace, and greater happiness.
