The greatest way to 'get over' something, is to go 'through' it in a compassionate and non-judgmental way. When life becomes challenging, you can oftentimes feel confused about where to turn. Perhaps you wish to discover the ways in which the past may be holding you back, better understand the reason why you're feeling stagnant in the present, and explore why the future may feel so intimidating for you. You may need the help of others to feel stable again and seeking therapy is a brave and courageous first step. You can discover new ways of living that feel fulfilling in the here and now. You deserve to feel better, and I can help.

I help Ladies connect the link between relationships and life situations to set the tone for their overall well-being. If you are at a point in your life that you feel stuck or disconnected it is time to consider connecting with an unbiased professional for emotional support and guidance. As women, life challenges can cause us to feel vulnerable, empty and overwhelmed. Are your ready to gain a better understanding of who you are and how to take control? We feel a sense of control when we can build and maintain healthy relationships, improve situational stress or conflict, gain a sense of direction and improve mental wellness.

While many people can transition gracefully, others may feel like their world has been turned upside down resulting in stages of emotional discomfort, mourning, or fear, leaving them feeling overwhelmed, anxious, & even depressed. I primarily work with those suffering from the difficulties of major life transitions. This can look very different for many! Whether you're a new parent, struggling to conceive, learning how to live on your own for the first time, grieving the loss of a loved one or relationship, or trying to find a new meaning to life as you enter retirement, I'm honored you've chosen me to help you on this journey.

I believe therapy is a space where you can be yourself which is sometimes harder than it sounds! Whether it seems like life is happening too fast to process, you feel stuck or lost & crave movement or direction, or are looking for healing, growth or support in specific areas, my job is to hold a space for you to show up exactly as you are. I don't assume coming to therapy means there is something wrong with you or that you need to change- there is something powerful about having a regular time set aside to check in with yourself.

As a second-generation immigrant with a bicultural identity, I am keenly aware that conversations about mental health concerns can feel confusing. Navigating the intersections of our identities, values, relationships and experiences can feel like we are constantly pulled in many different directions and struggle to feel at peace. This can negatively impact our self-esteem, self-confidence and how well we are able to be present in the different areas of our lives. My passion is to inspire curiosity about oneself and revive the path of intentional and heartful living.

Muslim Therapists
Why is it important for a therapist to be culturally sensitive?
A culturally sensitive therapist will be respectful of faith, race, sexual orientation, gender, age, disabilities, or anything that is relevant to an individual’s reasons for seeking therapy. This mental health practitioner will therefore be able to recognize the role of faith in a client’s life, and they can appreciate the cultural values and beliefs of others. Cultural sensitivity on the part of the therapist may enhance the possibility of a strong therapeutic bond, even if the clinician does not have an extensive understanding of a client’s background before therapy begins.
How might I inquire about a therapist's experience with Muslim clients?
It is best to ask directly whether a therapist has worked with Muslim clients, and if so, the extent to which cultural or religious principles factored into their work together. You can also ask whether a therapist who is familiar with Islamic practices, values, and beliefs incorporates them into their professional work, and if so, how. If the therapist does not have a sufficient knowledge base, they may well know and can refer you to someone who has such experience.
What if the therapist does not have my exact background?
It is not necessary for a therapist to share one’s exact religious background for therapy to be successful. A qualified and culturally sensitive therapist will appreciate diversity within the Muslim community as well as diversity overall, and will have a sense of how religious and cultural issues can contribute to mental health. In addition, a good therapist would be willing to learn from their clients.
How do I recognize an effective Muslim therapist?
Like all therapists, a Muslim therapist who is effective will have the requisite training and expertise in evidence-based techniques, as well as the ability to connect with you on a personal level. An effective Muslim therapist may also demonstrate a clear understanding of your cultural background and faith. A therapist with such cultural sensitivity will set the stage for a strong therapeutic alliance.
Who is included in Psychology Today's directory of the Muslim faith?
The directory of Muslim therapists includes mental health providers who have shared their cultural background in their profiles. Psychology Today uses this information to assist clients in finding a therapist with a similar background. However, not all therapists choose to disclose this information, and they may not appear in search results for this reason. When the number of therapists identified as Muslim is limited, the directory will also show therapists with extensive experience working with clients from relevant backgrounds.
