The relationship with your therapist is a vital part of the healing process. I offer a warm and compassionate humanistic approach to create a space for you to explore your thoughts and feelings, better understand yourself, and navigate the changes and challenges in your life. As a social worker, I understand that each person is shaped by their unique environment and experiences. I enjoy working with clients from all backgrounds and identities. Having grown up with a blend of Afghan and American heritage, I bring a unique perspective to my practice.
I enjoy working collaboratively with clients while tailoring therapy to your individual needs. My approaches include Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MB-CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and trauma-informed care. I draw on my experience in both private practice and community mental health settings, helping clients navigate a range of concerns, including trauma, depression, anxiety, self-esteem, grief and work/life balance.
I understand that life can be overwhelming sometimes. I feel honored to hear the concerns that clients bring to our sessions, and I enjoy helping them find a balance between taking care of themselves and caring for their loved ones. Many of my clients are mothers, wives, and caregivers. I recognize that it can feel like there’s never enough time for yourself, and I am here to support your path to self-care and prioritizing your needs.
I am also passionate about supporting working professionals, young adults and college students as they navigate life’s transitions. I understand how challenging it can be to balance relationships, school, and work, and I am here to help you find your footing. Together, we’ll explore your strengths and figure out which path feels right for you. I know making significant decisions about your future can be overwhelming, and my goal is to create a safe space where you can discover what you truly want your life to look like.
In my free time, I enjoy snuggling with my dog, trying new recipes, and exploring walking trails. My husband and I, originally from Virginia, enjoy finding new coffee shops, binge-watching our favorite shows together, and going to boxing fitness classes.
I’m currently seeing clients in-person at our Tucker/Northlake location, and virtually throughout Georgia. I look forward to hearing from you and hope to be part of your mental health journey!
