As a Pakistani-American Muslim woman, I recognize that there is a significant need for counseling services within diverse communities. I'm especially passionate about working with individuals as they navigate major life transitions, such as going college, entering workforce, moving, marriage, parenthood, and so on. I also enjoy working with clients who experience grief and loss. I've worked with clients from various backgrounds and clinical presentations, focusing on addressing issues such as anxiety, depression, relationship issues, trauma, family issues, stressors, identity, etc.

The decision to seek therapy can be difficult; however, you are here and that's your first step. Do you find yourself struggling in relationships, dealing with depression, anxiety, grief, or trauma?

Hey there! Are you dealing with feelings of guilt, negative self-talk, doubt, or worthlessness? You don't have to handle these challenges on your own. My aim is to assist you in navigating your emotional struggles using various theoretical approaches, such as cognitive behavior therapy, existential therapy, and solution-focused therapy. I believe that therapy shouldn't be one-size-fits-all; that's why I customize my approach to suit your personality and specific needs. I am dedicated to creating a warm, nonjudgmental, and supportive environment to ensure that each session is both helpful and enjoyable for you.

Nice to meet you! As a counselor, I work individually with adolescents, young/emerging adults, and established adults- with the bulk of my experience having been my work with LGBTQIA+ adolescents and their families, particularly those who are neurodiverse and/or experiencing depression or anxiety. I view therapy as a process of guided and assisted change—like a road trip. You're behind the wheel while I ride in the passenger seat. I'll help you pick a destination, give directions, talk with you- but it's you who drives the car. Through this approach, I find the therapeutic journey is just as meaningful as the destination.

Jefferson Park, Chicago, IL 60630
Often, people come to us looking to explore psychological concerns in a sophisticated way. If they had past therapy, they were at times disappointed that it did not go deeper, as it left the greater meaning (the "roots") of their symptoms unexplored. As psychodynamic therapists, however, our goal is to see comprehensively, with thoughtful attention to the subtle depths and intricacies of your experience. In so doing, we can help to both resolve symptoms and impart meaning to your experiences, even those thoughts, feelings, and emotions that are often deemed painful or meaningless.

When life becomes too difficult, we often feel like there is something fundamentally wrong within us. We feel invisible, left out, and misunderstood. As women, we are constantly trying to do more while being told by the world around us that we are not good enough. You need to be the perfect student, the caring daughter, and the supportive friend. You need to be the patient mother, loving partner, and an uncompromising independent career woman. You have to do it all- and you carry an unyielding emotional burden because of it.
