About My Clients
I understand how overwhelming mental health struggles can feel, leaving you lost, alone, and unsure if anyone truly gets what you're going through. It’s normal to wonder if the care you’ll receive is genuine, and I want to assure you that when we work together, you’ll have my full attention and support every step of the way. I specialize in helping adults navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and major life changes. Let’s work together to create the change you’re seeking.
My Background and Approach
My approach to counseling is all about you—your experiences, your strengths, and what matters most to you. I believe in working together to help you navigate challenges and appreciate your strengths. I began my work as a therapist in the vibrant communities of Chicago’s South and West Sides, supporting people from all walks of life. During my master’s program at the University of Chicago, I gained valuable experience helping individuals work through anxiety, depression, PTSD, anger, grief, and even thoughts of suicide. I’ve also supported individuals and families during times of loss and grief as a chaplain intern at Northwestern Memorial Hospital. Using trauma-informed CBT and talk therapy, I’ve helped clients of all ages manage life’s challenges and work toward healing. As a licensed therapist in Illinois and Maryland, my goal is to provide a safe, supportive space where you feel truly heard and understood. Together, we’ll work to create the positive changes you’re looking for.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
Growing up as an American Indian Muslim post-9/11, I faced challenges that shaped my commitment to advocacy. I am deeply passionate about breaking stereotypes about Muslims and supporting BIPOC and minority communities. I believe everyone deserves dignity and respect, regardless of privilege, and I work to promote peace and understanding in all areas of my life. Through therapy and writing, I aim to contribute to a brighter, more inclusive world—one step at a time.
