Great to meet you!

Are you feeling overwhelmed, anxious, emotionally drained, or stuck in patterns that seem impossible to change? Maybe you’re struggling with relationships, past experiences, or simply trying to find your way forward. Whatever you’re going through, you don’t have to face it alone.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor who helps individuals navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, low self-esteem, relationship challenges, and life’s unexpected turns. I also offer couples counseling to help partners improve communication, rebuild trust, and strengthen their connection.

My approach to therapy

My approach is warm, down-to-earth, and collaborative. I believe therapy should feel like a genuine conversation where you can be yourself without fear of judgment. I value cultural diversity and strive to create a safe, welcoming space where your identity, beliefs, and personal experiences are respected.

Together, we’ll explore what’s holding you back, build on your strengths, and find practical ways to create meaningful change.

You deserve to feel heard, valued, and confident in the life you’re building. Let’s work toward that together.

I provide online therapy in English, Urdu, and Hindi.

What you can expect from me

clients can expect a warm, down-to-earth, and collaborative environment that feels like a genuine conversation free of judgment. They can look forward to a safe, welcoming space where their cultural diversity, identity, beliefs, and personal experiences are fully respected. Ultimately, clients can anticipate working together with the counselor to explore what is holding them back, build on their personal strengths, and find practical ways to create meaningful change.
