About Me

Being a therapist & helping others through counseling has truly become my passion. As a first generation eldest Pakistani daughter, I have found hope and healing for my clients and for myself in therapy. I firmly believe with a help of a therapist, you can break cycles, and start new patterns. My job is to support you and provide a safe space so you can explore all feelings  without judgment. I use a strengths based approach with all my clients. Relationships are a focus of my work, specifically parent-child, family and sibling relationships. 

​

Education

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and I received my Masters of Social Work from Rutgers University. I received my bachelors of arts in Psychology from Rutgers University as well. I am currently in training to become a Islamic Psychotherapist under the TIIP Framework. 

​

Experience

After graduating in 2014, I worked as a Substance Use & Parent Child Psychotherapist for four years. I worked with diverse communities and cultures. In 2019 after obtaining my LCSW, I joined a private practice group and worked as a psychotherapist for two years during the COVID-19 pandemic. I worked with individuals, couples, children & adolescents of diverse backgrounds. 

​

Professional Strengths & Interests

My strengths are that I am empathetic, inviting & collaborative. I want to learn about you and your story. I believe every person has a chance and willing to learn & change. I am here to give you that safe space to feel open to learn about yourself. We will talk about your childhood, your goals, your aspirations, & your challenges. 

​

Personal

I am a first generation Pakistani Muslim American. I grew up in New York & New Jersey. I currently reside in New Jersey with my husband and three children. Besides being a therapist, I love reading parenting & self help books, traveling, working out, taking nature hikes with my family, & spending time with my family and friends. Faith also plays a huge role in my life.
