My path into social work was inspired by the challenges I witnessed in Black and Brown communities affected by violence and marginalization. I offer a safe, non-judgmental space where clients—especially Muslim men and youth—can feel seen and heard. Whether you’re navigating trauma, identity struggles, or emotional distress, I support you through culturally attuned and spiritually integrated therapy. My approach centers on compassion, advocacy, and sustainable growth.

I use a faith-sensitive, strength-based framework, blending:
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Narrative Therapy
Solution-Focused Therapy
Strength-Based & Trauma-Informed Interventions
Faith-Based and Culturally Responsive Counselling
Sessions are collaborative, respectful, and grounded in the unique lived experience of each client.
