Great to meet you!

I am a Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor and Licensed Professional Counselor. I practice from an Existential Framework using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy, and Solution Focused Therapy Techniques. I am passionate about facilitating my clients' growth with holistic approaches. I offer sessions in English, Urdu, and Sindhi.

I enjoy working with minority communities and bridging the cultural gap for first and second generation immigrants.

My approach to therapy

I strongly believe in order to be fully nurtured and content, individuals must address all mental, physical and spiritual aspects of their personal and professional lives. Existential therapy looks at the meaning and purpose in our lives as the drivers of our emotional contentment.

What you can expect from me

Clients will have different experiences in therapy, but my hope is to always provide a warm, judgement free space where they can feel safe being open and vulnerable. I like to do a lot of exploration with my clients, as well as, provide guidance on mindfulness, and how to break unhealthy patterns of our our thoughts and behaviors.
