Client Demographics: 18 to 35 years. Individual therapy. Proficient in English and Urdu. Only in-person.

Works with: Depression, anxiety disorders (excluding OCD), trauma (PTSD, CPTSD, Childhood Emotional trauma) and Emotional Regulation Difficulties (including Borderline personality).

Therapy Modalities: An integration of CBT, Psychodynamic/Relational and Humanistic therapies

My approach: I work with young adults experiencing a range of mental health concerns, including depression, anxiety, self-esteem difficulties, gender identity, relationship/interpersonal concerns, body image difficulties, trauma, and grief. I approach mental health by recognising the vital role played by early life experiences, our environments, and close relationships in our present lives and functioning. I believe that recognising, honouring, and (where needed) grieving our lived experiences allows us to connect to the present moment, live with autonomy, and take responsibility for our choices in the here and now. My focus is on creating an exploratory and reflective space where clients can recall, process, understand, and integrate their experiences. I maintain confidentiality as per professional ethical guidelines, and will usually discuss confidentiality and therapeutic boundaries in our early sessions. My clients and I collaboratively decide short- and long-term goals for therapy, and work towards them. Ultimately, I hope that our work together empowers my clients to be their authentic selves and live with agency.

I enjoy films, literature, and a good cup of coffee.

My approach: I see the therapeutic relationship as a container, in which my client can unpack and explore their experiences freely, through my support and knowledge. I aim to build a collaborative therapeutic relationship through direct communication about dynamics between myself and the client as they emerge in real life. The therapeutic relationship provides a corrective experience to the client when their unresolved feelings from the past become present in the therapy room, and can be worked through safely and gently. I recognise the difficulty that comes with exposing oneself to another human being, and I feel deeply honoured to be trusted with the exposure whenever it occurs. I have an awareness of power dynamics in the therapeutic relationship, and I try to maintain a balance and promote equality. Ultimately, I aim to empower the client to connect with and accept themselves.

Outside of work, I value quality time with loved ones, good food, soulful music, and sometimes, solitude.

Registered Behaviour Technician

Client Demographics: Ages 2-21. Individual child, Parents, Family, & Group therapy.Proficient in English and Urdu.

Works with: Learning Disabilities, Academic Concerns, ADHD, Autism, Developmental Delays, Selective Mutism (young children refusing to speak in some/all situations), Social/Emotion Regulation, Behaviour Concerns, Mood Regulation, Self-Confidence, Self-Esteem, Social/General Anxiety, Depression, Aggression.

• Family disturbance (death, grief, loss, divorce)

• Behavioural concerns

• Learning disabilities and IEP Plans

Therapy Modalities: Behaviour Therapy/ABA, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Humanistic Therapy, Integrative & Holistic Therapy.

My approach: As an educational psychologist and behavior therapist, my therapeutic approach is diverse and comprehensive, catering to a wide range of clinical issues that children and adolescents may face in their school or home environment. As young children are developing cognitively, I believe in modifying my therapeutic approach based on the child’s need but I heavily rely on behavioral intervention techniques to teach them behavior we want them to learn and decrease behavior we want to discourage. Moreover, my dedication to fostering positive growth extends beyond direct sessions with the child, as I primarily provide parent consultation and home/school recommendations. This approach emphasizes the importance of involving parents and caregivers in the therapeutic process to empower them with the tools and knowledge to support their children in becoming their best selves. By incorporating parent consultation, I create a collaborative environment where families can actively participate in their child's progress, leading to more holistic and sustainable outcomes in their development and emotional well-being.

I offer consultation summary and reports with comprehensive recommendations for home and school upon request.
