My experience and struggles with my own mental health, family issues,  and lived experiences are what brought me to the field of Social Work and Psychotherapy. As someone who understands the struggle with mental health, I strive to work with others to navigate life’s stressors and allow them to experience a life worth living. There is no end point in that journey and navigating the puzzle that is our mind. It is a never ending process of trial and error. 

I approach every session, and every client as an individual. Everyone has different wants and needs from their therapist, so I want to hear from you what it is you are looking for. Some people come in knowing exactly what they want and others we have to spend a little more time understanding our expectations from each other.

There are a wide range of tools and therapeutic modalities at my disposal and there is not a one size fits  all for everyone. If you are interested in the theoretical background of different therapies and what I use and why, I’d love to book a consultation with you to dicuss. 

One of the biggest reasons I became a social worker is because Islam is a big part of my identity, I am both spiritual and religious and it is integrated into various aspects of my personal life. When accessing therapy it was hard not being able to find a therapist who understood my religious values and teaching and the cultural background I come from. For that reason, I do provide Islamically Integrated Therapy at my clients’ request. If clients are not Muslim, or do not wish to discuss Islamic topics, I can lend an ear and an understanding of collectivist cultures and religious upbringings that are sometimes hard to come by
