I am now opening more time in my private practice and would love to work with you or those in your family.
Are you feeling stuck? Do you need to drop into greater ease or “grounding”, but you keep getting “triggered” and respond in your old ways? Have you tried meditation or yoga, yet feel something is missing? Have you sensed true “flow” and playfulness in your interactions with others or within yourself, but, sadly, it is just not consistent? Educators, do seek being that teacher who moved you into this profession? Have you spent time learning how to develop your parenting and general relationship skills, but you keep reverting to prior patterns of reactivity? If so, try something new with me.

I also understand the body as a critical site of trauma healing and as such, I integrate experiential modalities into my work, including EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapy and somatic and Internal Family Systems (IFS) lenses.
Please note: I am accepting clients to begin working together in late January 2025. My therapeutic approach is anti-oppressive and decolonial, rooted in my own experiences as queer, South Asian, immigrant, and Muslim-raised. I understand experiences as shaped by larger sociopolitical and cultural contexts of power, and am invested in supporting you to explore the manifestations of complex, collective, and vicarious trauma in your life. My professional background lies primarily in supporting survivors of partner violence and queer and trans individuals.

Each member of your relationship or family will feel heard, understood, and, most importantly, accepted.
You might be asking, "How do I restore balance in my life?" In the complex dance of relationships, maintaining harmony can sometimes feel like an insurmountable challenge. Particularly in intimate relationships or within the family unit, it’s not uncommon to feel disconnected, despite your best efforts. Rekindling love, intimacy, and warmth in these relationships is within reach.
