Get To Know Me
In what ways do your life philosophy and treatment philosophy overlap?
I do not believe that a person struggling with their mental health needs "fixing" or is broken in any way, but rather needs warmth and acceptance that starts from within. As your therapist, I will help you rediscover, connect with, and harness your inner light, which I believe is the strength and resiliency each person possesses.
I consider it a great privilege to be part of someone’s healing and growth, where they are free to be wholly human. I recognize that seeking therapy can have stigmas attached to it among some marginalized and minority communities. I am passionate about breaking through these stigmas and can uniquely understand coming from these communities myself as a Muslim and child of immigrants. I aim to provide therapy within a social justice framework that is holistic and trauma informed. I believe that the personal is political, and therefore, that therapy can not be inherently apolitical.
What is your style/approach to therapy?
I have a warm and down to earth style in sessions. I'm passionate about providing strength based, trauma informed, culturally competent, and socially conscious therapy. I explore my client's strengths and lived experiences and the political, social, historical, and cultural contexts in which they exist. I aim to create a safe space that is free of judgement because I understand that being vulnerable can be the most daunting part of therapy.
How do you determine therapy goals with clients? What does that process look like?
I develop goals collaboratively with my clients that are tailored to the client's needs and readiness for change. I explore what my client's strengths are, why they are seeking therapy, and what they are hoping to get out of our sessions together which will factor into the treatment goal.
