I am a Registered Psychotherapist with 15 years of experience in the field. I specialize in maternal mental health. I am very passionate about sharing my knowledge and experience. I provide culturally and linguistically competent care.

Navigating the tender terrain of motherhood takes courage and vulnerability. Reaching out for support does too. If you are experiencing parenting concerns and adjustment, traumatic birth, grief and loss, pregnancy and postpartum depression, anxiety, and OCD, or if you are simply navigating the bumpy labyrinth of motherhood, Please reach out.

I am a mother of 2 young children. Since becoming a mother myself, I have realized on a deeper level the acute need for support during this time of transition and transformation. The old cliché of “it takes a village” is true, I am honored to work alongside moms and be part of their village

Outside of being a maternal mental health therapist, I support women in navigating a variety of other struggles. I am passionate about using my skills and expertise to support Muslim women to live their best life and better cope with life’s many challenges.
