''As we become aware of ourselves as storytellers we realize we can use our stories to heal and make ourselves whole.'' – Susan Wittig Albert
As an African-American woman and mother with experience providing service to various cultures, I have a keen awareness of the disparity in familial relationships and look forward to working with youth, adolescents, and families in my practice.
I am a firm believer in everybody’s potential to achieve well-being. My approach to therapy is based on principles of positive psychology: We all have strengths and a purpose to fulfill; we can regulate emotions and rule thoughts and behavior to build gratification.
I am a first-generation South Asian American Muslim therapist who understands the unique dynamics of growing up in two worlds.
Having gone through various challenges and significant life changes, I can understand the difficulties you may be facing and I'm here to offer my guidance.
As a passionate PMHNP-BC, I believe in the power of collaborative care and am dedicated to supporting each individual's unique mental health journey.
For over 30 years, I have worked in partnership with people who are seeking to restore balance and functionality in their lives whether they are dealing with challenging circumstances, old wounds, or trying to make the best decisions for them and their families.
