Therapy can feel scary when cultural stigma adds extra weight. I offer sessions in English, Urdu, and Hindi, creating sacred space where faith, culture, and mental health intersect naturally. Whether through words, art, or mindful silence, we’ll move at your pace. You don’t have to carry this burden alone anymore.
In-person sessions in Garden City and Lynbrook, plus virtual therapy throughout New York. Evening appointments available for working families.
Qualifications

I specialize in cultural identity exploration, anxiety management, intergenerational trauma healing, and bicultural stress for BIPOC individuals and families. My approach helps clients navigate the complexity of honoring cultural heritage while pursuing individual growth, addressing family dynamics and religious/spiritual integration.
Approach
My integrative approach combines DBT, ACT, trauma-focused CBT, and somatic therapy with Eastern healing wisdom. For children and teens, I incorporate play therapy and expressive arts. Each session is culturally attuned, creating space for all aspects of your identity to be honored and integrated.
