Intro

“The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change.” - Carl Rogers

With over 12 years of experience in the mental health field, I have had the privilege of working with diverse populations, including individuals with developmental disabilities and autism, children in the foster care system, adults in group homes with diagnoses such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder, and traumatic brain injury. I have also worked extensively with children, adolescents, and adults facing various behavioral and mental health needs, such as anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), trauma, oppositional defiant disorder (ODD), and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). My wide range of experience has equipped me with a deep understanding of these conditions and the unique challenges they present.

About Me

As a Pakistani American, I deeply value cultural competency and take a strength-based approach in my counseling practice. I recognize the importance of considering an individual's cultural background, beliefs, and values when providing therapeutic support. By honoring and respecting your cultural identity, I aim to create a safe and inclusive space for you to explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences.

In our sessions, you can expect a compassionate and non-judgmental environment where your unique needs will be prioritized. Together, we will work collaboratively to develop personalized strategies that empower you to overcome obstacles and achieve your goals.I draw from a variety of evidence-based therapeutic approaches. Through these approaches, I will help you build resilience, develop coping skills, and foster personal growth.

Taking the first step towards seeking counseling can be both brave and transformative. If you are ready to embark on a journey of self-discovery and healing, I am here to support you. Together, we will harness your inner strengths and resources to create positive change in your life. I look forward to working with you on your path to well-being and empowerment.
