Come as you are—tender, tired, or holding on. Healing begins with presence, not perfection. I’m a Registered Psychotherapist with the CRPO, holding a Master’s in Marriage and Family Therapy. But beyond the credentials, I’m someone who deeply believes in the healing power of connection—within ourselves, and with those we love. My approach integrates emotion-focused, attachment-informed, trauma-informed, and somatic practices. What that means is: we explore your story, your body’s wisdom, your relationships, and the tender places you’ve been hurt—while building trust, resilience, and a renewed sense of self-worth. Healing begins with being met—in curiosity, compassion, and belief in your growth. I’m here—for the unravelling and the becoming.

Benefits of Therapy with Me
- Compassionate, culturally aware support shaped by my identity as a Muslim, Pakistani woman; insight from my lived experience as a wife and mother.
- A safe, welcoming space honoring diverse identities, faiths, and backgrounds. I honour the richness of your background while helping you navigate life’s complexities—no matter where you're starting from. And while therapy is a place for vulnerability, it’s also a place where healing can be gentle, sometimes even joyful.

About Me
I bring gentleness, sensitivity, silliness, and compassion to my work. Outside therapy, I enjoy comfort meals, relaxing travel, hot tea, inspiring quotes, horror movies, and laughter with friends and family.
My own struggles, triumphs, and healing have deepened my desire to support others in doing the same. I look forward to connecting and supporting you in your healing journey.
