About My Clients

I support adults facing trauma, grief, ADHD, life transitions, and neurocognitive challenges. Many of my clients feel overwhelmed or disconnected and seek clarity, healing, or peace. I provide culturally responsive, strengths-based care in English and Urdu/Hindi, using a collaborative approach to help each person feel empowered and supported.

My Background and Approach

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor with a Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and a background in biology. My work spans inpatient and outpatient settings, supporting adults and older adults through trauma, grief, ADHD, anxiety, depression, and neurocognitive disorders like dementia and TBIs. I’m trained in EMDR, IFS, CBT, DBT, and ego states work, and certified in ADHD clinical services, traumatic grief therapy, and HeartMath. With over two years of experience in neurofeedback, I integrate a mind-body lens into therapy. My approach is holistic, culturally competent, and client-centered. I tailor therapy to your strengths, values, and goals—whether you're processing trauma, navigating loss, or seeking support for cognitive and emotional wellness.
