As an African-American woman and mother with experience providing service to various cultures, I have a keen awareness of the disparity in familial relationships and look forward to working with youth, adolescents, and families in my practice.
I am a first-generation South Asian American Muslim therapist who understands the unique dynamics of growing up in two worlds.
Having gone through various challenges and significant life changes, I can understand the difficulties you may be facing and I'm here to offer my guidance.
I am a firm believer in everybody’s potential to achieve well-being. My approach to therapy is based on principles of positive psychology: We all have strengths and a purpose to fulfill; we can regulate emotions and rule thoughts and behavior to build gratification.
As someone with lived experience relating to trauma, I understand the need to be validated, understood and experience compassion from others.
As a passionate PMHNP-BC, I believe in the power of collaborative care and am dedicated to supporting each individual's unique mental health journey.
I am able to help others identify their struggles as they effectively navigate through their pain and life challenges.
