About My Clients

My clients say, "I feel suffocated and lonely, even though I’m constantly surrounded by people. Anxiety creeps in with every big decision and before most social interactions. Some days, the weight of it all makes it feel pointless to even try. I keep thinking about saying all of this to someone who isn’t tangled up in it, who could really hear me and understand.” Hi, I’m Zeenie and I’m so happy you’re here.

My Background and Approach

As a biracial (Pakistani + white), Muslim woman, I understand the nuances and challenges of navigating multiple identities, and the strength and beauty of belonging to diverse communities. I love working with young adults and adults navigating life transitions and exploring identity related to family, culture, faith, gender, and sexuality. I particularly enjoy working with those from South Asian and Muslim communities, as well as first-generation Americans and children of immigrants. Many of my clients also carry anxiety, depression, or trauma alongside these struggles, and I seek to honor you as a whole person.
