I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas and graduated with my Master’s in Counseling Psychology from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 2020. My approach in therapy is that of gentle empowerment and trauma-informed healing through radical self-love. I have yet to meet a client who didn’t need more self-compassion and self-love in their lives, and helping clients work towards that goal is my favorite part of being a therapist! I have been working in the field of eating disorders for 4 years, and in this time, I have developed a particular passion for helping my clients find power in their bodies. My clients have taught me that on the other end of this hard work is a feeling of freedom in your body and soul. So much of disordered eating is a result of disconnection from one’s body, due to both systemic and individual factors. I enjoy utilizing the intersection of science and ancestral stories in helping folks rebuild that connection. My stance is an interpersonal and holistic mind-body-heart-soul approach, informed by being a daughter of South Asian immigrants and a Muslim. I believe in helping you find inspiration in your unique identities and using the strength you derive from them in your healing process. I like to utilize interpersonal and psychodynamic modalities, along with EMDR and narrative approaches.
