I am a second-generation Pakistani Muslim raised in NJ. In my own healing journey, accessing mental health resources that were inclusive and culturally informed was challenging. My journey of healing has ignited a desire to provide trauma informed care using a culturally informed lens. Many of my clients have struggled with their own healing journey. Using a trauma focused lens, mindfulness and strength-based approach I am able to help clients navigate their challenges. I focus on fostering emotional processing and self-care so that my clients are able to embark on their own path to healing. Creating a safe, judgment-free space is paramount to my practice. I encourage open exploration of feelings and experiences, especially around childhood, relationships, mental health challenges, and issues related to spirituality and faith.
