You don’t need to have it all figured out to start therapy, just a willingness to begin. Welcome to the first step!

I offer a supportive, non-judgmental space where you can talk openly, explore what has been weighing on you, and begin to make sense of your experiences. Whether you’re working through something painful or just feeling overwhelmed by the day-to-day, I am here to listen, reflect, and walk alongside you at your own pace.

My approach is warm, collaborative, and rooted in evidence-based practices. I draw from person-centered therapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), emotion-focused therapy (EFT), mindfulness, and trauma-informed care. I believe in blending reflection with practical tools, so you leave each session feeling both supported and equipped. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, relationship stress, identity concerns, or simply feeling stuck, we can work together to find clarity and connection.

Balancing family expectations, cultural values, and your own needs can feel confusing or isolating. I understand the challenges of navigating multiple identities. I offer a culturally sensitive and affirming space where all parts of your experience are welcome. I offer therapy in English, Urdu, or Hindi and welcome clients from all backgrounds.

Whenever you feel ready to take the next step, I’ll be here to support you.
