Life can be overwhelming at times. We all want someone to listen—truly listen—without judgment. Someone who can help us feel seen, heard, and safe in our own skin. As a first-generation immigrant and a visibly Muslim woman, I understand what it means to feel out of place or disconnected—navigating the complexities of identity, belonging, and meaningful connection in unfamiliar environments. These lived experiences deeply inform my therapeutic work and help me approach each person with empathy, cultural humility, and care.
My approach is warm, collaborative, and trauma-informed. As your therapist, I strive to offer a space where you can show up as you are, explore what matters the most to you, and feel supported every step of the way. I use a client-centred approach, where I emphasize your voice and experience in the process. I come with curiosity, openness, and a commitment to holding space for your true, authentic self. Whether you're working through pain, seeking clarity, or simply wanting to feel more at home within yourself, I’m here to walk alongside you on your healing journey.
I look forward to meeting you and getting to know you.
My work is supervised by Liz Montgomery.

In my practice, I approach our interactions with genuine curiosity, authenticity, and a profound commitment to non-judgmental support. Being a South-Asian woman, I understand the importance of inclusion and I bring to our sessions a culturally sensitive and trauma-informed perspective, acknowledging and respecting the unique intricacies of your personal history and experiences.
Together, we will embark on a journey of exploration, diving into the depths of your story and the complexities of your inner world. I am here to help you grow, question, and challenge yourself, providing a safe and supportive space for you to explore any areas where you may feel stuck.
I believe in de-stigmatizing normal human experiences, understanding that our struggles and challenges are often part of the natural ebb and flow of life. Whether it's working on your relationship with yourself, your family, friends, work, or any other aspect of your life, I am here to assist you in understanding and navigating these dynamics.
My goal is to facilitate meaningful change and growth as we work collaboratively to enhance your well-being and cultivate a deeper understanding of yourself and your relationships. I am eager to connect with you and learn more about your journey.
My work is supervised by Elizabeth Montgomery.

It’s perfectly normal to take your time finding the right therapist for you. The most important thing is that you’re here. So, take all the time you need and ask as many questions as you would like, until you feel comfortable and confident.
🖥️ Fun Facts: I enjoy trying new things—whether it's food, hobbies, or experiences. Lately, I've been learning how to embroider.
