About My Clients
Do you feel anxious, lonely, or self-critical? Have you experienced trauma or neglect growing up that has caused you to feel self-protective but isolated? Do you feel drawn to the version of you that is happy and satisfied, has healthy relationships, and a solid sense of who they are and what they want? If you relate to any of these things, you are in the right place. I'll help you gain insight into how your past has impacted you and how we can move forward with intention and clarity.
My Background and Approach
My clients are typically motivated, ready to dig deep, and are active participants in their therapy. This means being able to receive questions and insights that take them deeper into their experiences and sense of self. I am a very curious and active participant but do not approach therapy as if I am an expert in you, you are the expert in yourself. We are working together to figure out what has been hidden to make it aware so that you can make the changes you want in your life. Therapy with me is rooted in compassion, creative insight, and goal oriented skills. We'll gain clarity around your values and what truly matters to you so we can take steps that are rooted in your authenticity and empowerment. This journey is unique for everyone and if you’re interested in starting this experience, you are welcome to contact me for an initial consultation. I’m proud of you for taking your first step!
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
In addition to my training, my work is also informed by my lived experiences of being a first-generation Indian-American and Muslim. My background has provided me with the ability to connect with others through deep empathy, introspection, and understanding. Through my experiences, both personal and professional, I have found I connect most with women and young adults/adolescents. I work with individuals experiencing trauma, depression, anxiety, self-esteem, life transitions, and career exploration. I utilize a person-centered and an eclectic therapeutic approach while incorporating psychoeducation, mindfulness, cognitive behavioral, strengths-based, and psychodynamic techniques. My clinical interests include meeting each unique individual with cultural humility, empathy, and patience to help them reach their goals and live a more fulfilling life.
