• About Me

  With experience in academic institutions, global humanitarian work, and faith-based communities, I am passionate about destigmatizing mental health within Muslim and BIPOC populations. My work bridges psychology and Islamic perspectives to help individuals navigate anxiety, identity, life transitions, and family challenges. I have developed and delivered wellness programs locally and internationally, supporting diverse communities through public education and counseling.

• Approach

  I use a trauma-informed, integrative framework combining:

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

  • Attachment-Based and Family Systems Therapy

  • Mindfulness-Based and Strength-Based Approaches

  • Humanistic and Existential Models

  • Culturally Sensitive, Faith-Based, and Justice-Oriented Practices

    My approach is grounded in emotional safety, multicultural awareness, and the empowerment of clients through self-discovery and healing.
