Have you ever felt like you’re doing so much for everyone else that you’ve forgotten to check in with yourself? Maybe you’re the one everyone depends on, the one who keeps the peace, or the one who struggles to say no.

I work with children, teens, and adults navigating anxiety, self-esteem, family dynamics, and life’s transitions. I’ve also found a real passion for supporting moms who feel like they’ve lost themselves along the way. You can love your kids more than anything and still miss who you were before motherhood. Both things can be true.

My style as a therapist is warm and conversational. I’ll listen, support you, and gently challenge you to recognize patterns and see things differently. I believe therapy isn’t always about fixing something. Sometimes, it’s about making room for emotions you’ve spent years avoiding and learning to sit with them, even when they’re uncomfortable.

I also recognize how much culture, faith, and family shape our experiences. I’m especially passionate about supporting Muslim and South Asian clients as they navigate expectations, relationships, and their own identities.

To me, therapy is about understanding yourself better, finding your voice, and figuring out what you want to hold onto and what you’re ready to let go of.
