Counseling is the beginning of a journey towards healing and a future you deserve. With nearly twenty years of experience as a licensed therapist, I offer a safe and supportive space where you can openly share your feelings, thoughts, and challenges. My aim is to provide a compassionate environment along with practical advice and effective strategies as we navigate the path to your well-being. You have more courage than you know and you have more growing left to do. All it takes is one step. Let's start this journey today.
I have valuable experience counseling a variety of populations and have a specialty working with women and children. I understand that background, upbringing, religion and culture play a vital role in who you are. As a first generation Muslim woman, I bring a unique perspective to the table and will support you on your path to healing and empowerment.
Do you feel like you are looking for a solution or someone to acknowledge and validate your pain and efforts? You've come to the right place. Be proud of the brave steps you've taken to get here. You deserve to have a life of contentment and with help, you can achieve it!
