Individual therapy
In individual therapy, I help adults get clear on what’s causing stress, conflict, or emotional strain in their lives. We work together to understand patterns, build practical coping skills, and make meaningful changes at a pace that feels manageable. My style is straightforward, collaborative, and focused on helping you feel more steady and in control.
I often work with South Asian and Muslim clients who are navigating cultural expectations, family pressures, identity concerns, or the challenge of balancing personal needs with community or family roles. Many people come in dealing with anxiety, burnout, relationship issues, or difficulty setting boundaries. Therapy gives you a confidential space to talk openly, sort through what’s working and what isn’t, and learn tools to create healthier habits and decisions.
Whether you’re working through a specific issue or simply want support in managing daily life, individual therapy can help you move toward a clearer and more grounded version of yourself.

Couple Therapy
I offer Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)–informed couples work to help partners reconnect, rebuild trust, and communicate in ways that foster closeness rather than conflict. EFT allows couples to understand the deeper emotions and unmet needs that sit beneath recurring arguments, distance, or misunderstanding—helping both partners feel safer, more supported, and more understood.
While I work with couples from all backgrounds, I specialize in supporting South Asian and Muslim partners who often face unique relationship strains shaped by culture, community, and family expectations. These may include navigating extended-family involvement, balancing traditional roles with modern identities, differing levels of religious or cultural commitment, stigma around discussing conflict, or pressure to maintain a “perfect” image outside the home.
Whether you’re dealing with communication breakdowns, emotional disconnection, premarital concerns, or the stress of balancing multiple cultural worlds, my goal is to help you create a relationship that feels secure, collaborative, and true to your shared values.

Family Therapy
Family relationships can be a source of strength, identity, and grounding—but they can also become complicated, especially when multiple generations, personalities, and cultural values collide. In family therapy, I help families slow down, make sense of recurring tensions, and build a shared language for understanding one another. My work is informed by attachment and systems perspectives, allowing us to look at family patterns with compassion rather than blame.
I have extensive experience supporting South Asian and Muslim families, who often navigate unique layers of expectation—respect for elders, communal decision-making, extended family involvement, religious influences, and the desire to honor tradition while allowing younger members space to grow. These dynamics can surface as misunderstandings, communication gaps, or struggles over boundaries, identity, and autonomy. Whether your family is facing ongoing conflict, navigating a major life change, or simply seeking a healthier way to connect, therapy provides a space where each voice matters and where the family can move toward greater harmony, clarity, and emotional safety.

Perinatal therapy
The journey into parenthood is deeply personal—and often, it’s more complex than expected. Whether you’re planning a pregnancy, currently expecting, adjusting to life with a newborn, or grieving a loss, perinatal therapy offers a space to explore your experiences with support, care, and without judgment.
What Is Perinatal Therapy?
Perinatal therapy is specialized mental health support for individuals and couples during the perinatal period—including pre-conception, pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum year. This season of life can be both joyful and challenging, and every person’s experience is unique.
I work with people navigating a range of experiences, including:
- Anxiety or depression during or after pregnancy (perinatal mood and anxiety disorders)
- Pregnancy after loss or infertility
- Birth trauma or medical complications
- Life transitions after baby arrives
- Identity shifts and emotional overwhelm
- Relationship changes or communication struggles between partners
- Grief and loss (miscarriage, stillbirth, or neonatal loss)
Perinatal therapy for Individuals
If you’re moving through this season on your own—or just need space to process individually—perinatal therapy can help you feel more grounded and connected. Whether you’re facing emotional distress or simply need someone to talk to, I provide a supportive environment where your thoughts and feelings are fully welcome.
Therapy for Couples
Parenthood can shift relationship dynamics in unexpected ways. In couples therapy, I help partners navigate change, strengthen communication, and deepen connection as they grow their family. Whether you’re preparing for a baby or adjusting to life postpartum, therapy can help you move through these transitions together, with more clarity and support.
