I came to therapy from teaching, and that background shapes how I show up: I'm used to adapting to who's in front of me, reading what's unsaid, and finding an approach that actually fits the person — not just the presenting concern.
I work with adolescents and adults on trauma, PTSD, anxiety, panic, maternal mental health, grief, and family stress. EMDR is a core part of my practice — particularly for clients whose past experiences still affect how they feel and function today, even when they'd rather they didn't.
I keep a small, intentional caseload. If you'd like to see if we're a good fit, I offer a free phone consultation before we commit to anything.

Life presents pain and uncertainty. To learn and live by a perspective that takes you beyond ego, is to find meaning in your suffering as you sit with discomfort and take a closer look at your experience with vulnerability. Finding balance within yourself is not gained through the absence of worry and adversity-it’s discovered through a process of understanding and practicing self- acceptance and self-compassion while in the midst of life struggles. Let's explore your relationship with the negative aspects of human experience. As you look inward with honesty and without harsh judgement you can find yourself closer to your true self.

Passion has brought me to this field, and I would like to be there for people in ways I wish people are there for me, by creating a safe, nurturing, empowering, and growing environment for my patients to explore and heal within the depths of their hearts. I have extensive experience in the inpatient setting from having helped patients with diverse presentations, while integrating multiple modalities into my treatment and having knowledge of the appropriate medications needed from having worked closely with psychiatrists. I have completed my MS degree from the State University of New York. I also have a postgraduate diploma in Islamic Psychology from Cambridge Muslim College.

I specialize in mood disorders, dual diagnosis, and personality disorders, and I bring deep personal motivation to this work — mental illness has touched my own family, and that experience shapes how I show up for every client. I know how prevalent it is, and I believe with my whole heart that there is no shame in struggling or in seeking help. My greatest strengths are patience and a genuine drive to help people transform how they feel and rediscover that life can be better. Outside of sessions, I enjoy thrifting, exploring new foods, and spending time outdoors with my family.

If you are feeling stuck in a cycle of trauma, managing a chronic health crisis, or navigating a major life transition, you do not have to carry it alone.
I am a doctoral-level psychologist with over 10 years of experience helping individuals, couples, and military families find clarity and resilience during their most overwhelming seasons. My practice is grounded in a calm, seasoned approach developed across diverse settings, from intensive inpatient units to delicate palliative care.
I bring deep expertise to supporting those facing the heavy overlap of physical health conditions and psychological trauma, as well as veterans and military families processing service-related experiences, deployment stress, and structural transitions. I also specialize in helping individuals navigate identity, systemic challenges, and family dynamics related to acculturation and immigrant stress across the lifespan, while providing a steady, expert space during major life transitions like grief, medical diagnoses, or existential shifts.
In our sessions, we will work collaboratively to untangle your experiences at a pace that feels safe for you. Together, we will build actionable strategies to move you out of survival mode and toward genuine healing. If you are ready to take the next step, please reach out to schedule an initial consultation
