Many people come to therapy feeling like they’ve been carrying too much on their own for a long time. I see therapy as a space where you can pause, reflect, and begin to understand your experiences with compassion rather than judgment. My role is to walk alongside you as you make sense of what you’re going through and find ways to move forward that feel more aligned with who you are.

As a Muslim and South Asian woman, I recognize how deeply culture, faith, and family expectations can shape our emotional lives. Many of the people I work with are navigating questions around identity, balancing personal needs with family responsibilities, managing guilt around setting boundaries, or trying to reconcile mental health with spiritual values. These experiences can feel complex and sometimes isolating, and I aim to create a space where those parts of your story can be explored safely and openly.

I support individuals and couples who are working through concerns such as anxiety, depression, relationship and family conflict, trauma, self-esteem struggles, and spiritual or identity-related questions. Together, we explore patterns, emotions, and experiences that may be keeping you stuck, while building tools that support healing and growth.

I hold a Master’s degree in Applied Psychology (Counselling) from Jamia Millia Islamia in New Delhi and completed the Bridge to Registration and Employment in Mental Health (BREM) program at the Mennonite New Life Centre in Toronto, which is recognized by the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO).

My work is informed by approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, trauma-informed care, and mindfulness, which I adapt based on each client’s needs and goals.
