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.

How I Can Help You

Please note that our friendly Care Coordinator Andrew will reach out to you to gather more information after you contact me. The most efficient way to schedule your first appointment is to visit my webpage and click "schedule a session."

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

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 college students, 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.
