HOW I WORK

 

Are you feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, grief, or trauma that makes it hard to focus, connect, or feel like yourself? Maybe you’re navigating a recent loss, intense mood swings, or identity struggles that leave you feeling stuck and unsure how to move forward. For many of my clients—students balancing transitions, professionals facing burnout, teens navigating bullying or a family divorce, or adults carrying unresolved trauma—daily life can feel heavy and uncertain. Therapy with me is a space where you don’t have to carry that weight alone, and where your voice, culture, and pace are always honored.

​

My approach is warm, structured, and collaborative. I integrate DBT, CBT, ACT, trauma-focused therapy, and mindfulness to help you build coping skills, process emotions, and feel more grounded. Together, we’ll explore your story, strengthen resilience, and practice tools that make daily life feel more manageable.

As a third culture kid and immigrant, raised between Dubai, Canada, and the U.S. I understand the nuances of belonging, identity, and cultural navigation firsthand. I bring this lens into the room to honor the richness and complexity of each person’s story. I work especially with teens, young adults, and professionals, including South Asian, Arab, and immigrant clients who value therapy that understands cultural pressure and identity. You can expect validation, structure, and real skills—not just talking in circles. If you’re ready to feel more grounded, resilient, and connected, I’d be honored to support you.
