I am a mental health counselor working in private practice in NYC. I work with all kinds of clients, and with both individuals and couples, on relationship issues, anxiety, depression, living with or having a family member with borderline personality disorder or narcissistic traits, family issues, parenting, women's issues and generally with helping people have a happier and healthier life.
I'm passionate about providing high quality psychotherapy for Muslims and people of color, in part because I've seen how much therapy and counseling can help and I know something about the stigma people can face that can lead to a reluctance to be in therapy. Whether we share similar identities or not, I have training and life experience to understand different ways that people who do not identify with a dominant, white culture in their own identities can better support their mental health and wellness.
I love working with people who are living through and recovering from trauma. I've had training in a number of modalities that are helpful for trauma, and it is such a pleasure to support people in their recovery.
My training includes DBT, which uses mindfulness, awareness and interpersonal skills; CFT, or compassion focused therapy, which is good for anyone with issues around self acceptance and self esteem; and psychodynamic, relational therapy.
I offer a free consultation by phone and I look forward to working with you towards your goals!
