Making the decision to seek therapeutic services can be challenging, but choosing the right therapist should not be.

As a dedicated Multilingual (English, Urdu, Hindi, and Punjabi) Graduate Student Therapist Intern willing to empower diverse individuals, families, spouses, and groups to succeed in mental health, behavioral health, healing, and literacy. My goal as a counseling professional is to promote critical thinking, decision-making, and healthy behavioral choices to help clients succeed in their lives, relationships, academics, and professional careers.

"To get thru the hardest journey, we need take only one step at a time, but we must keep on stepping" As your counselor my aim is to provide a safe and supportive environment where we can collaborate and work together at your own pace to help you reach your goals. Sometimes our past hurts and thoughts come with us like a friend we've told to "get lost", however everywhere we look it's there. If the past continues to be in your present I can help. If you have difficulty expressing your thoughts and emotions, I can help. If you're stuck, I can help. All it takes is one phone call.

I believe the role of a therapist is to offer unconditional acceptance and walk alongside each client as they work through their issues. There are many different tools to help each client achieve their goals. Setting up a treatment plan with attainable goals with clear direction is essential in the counseling process. Each client comes with their own belief system. I am committed to helping clients find the inner peace that comes through relationships with people and a higher power. I am trained in biblical principles and a Christian, but I am committed to helping each person find their own path and their own beliefs.
