Feeling a certain level of anxiety over big stressors or certain life events is totally normal. However, if you find that your fear or worry does not go away and, in fact, gets worse over time, you may be suffering from an anxiety disorder. Mild anxiety is vague and unsettling and often passes quickly, while severe anxiety can seriously affect your day-to-day life. If you are finding your anxiety unmanageable, can’t identify the cause of your anxious feelings or if you are suffering from physical symptoms (such as heart palpations, fatigue, sweaty hands, upset stomach, or insomnia), it may be time to get help. Reach out to one of TherapyDen’s anxiety specialists today.
As a Trained EMDR therapist, with clinical experience in Attachment-Focused Interventions, IFS, TF-CBT, and Integrative Neuroscience (prioritizing the role of the brain-body connection), I empower my clients to experience deep, lasting transformation on their healing journey. I work with adolescents and adults navigating trauma healing, generational wounds, attachment, hopelessness, anxiety, depression, life transitions, spirituality, and a lost sense of self.

My experience includes working with children, adolescents, and adults—both individually and in couples and family settings—helping them navigate challenges like anxiety, depression, self-esteem concerns, relationship issues, and family dynamics. Informed by my multicultural background as a Pakistani woman, I’m also deeply passionate about supporting South Asian communities and addressing the unique cultural and identity concerns faced by immigrant groups.
I blend a variety of therapeutic techniques—EMDR, CBT, DBT, and psychodynamic therapy—with a touch of humor— to create a dynamic, personalized approach to healing. Therapy is not a "one size fits all" solution, so collaborating with my clients to find what tools and strategies work best for each person is important to me. At the end of the day, you are the master of your own experience!
My previous work involved facilitating group therapy on various populations, including those with symptoms of depression, anxiety, substance abuse disorders, trauma, etc. I specialized in providing CBT, DBT, stress management, self-esteem, and a wide range of groups to meet the needs of my patients.
With 6+ years of experience, I have worked in a school setting and in private practice supporting clients individually and within groups. I have worked with clients to explore their identity, sexuality, strengths, self-esteem, environmental stressors, and interpersonal relationships, helping them to develop healthy boundaries and coping skills to use throughout their life’s many transitions.
I have clinical experience using a cultural, and trauma informed perspective to individualize treatment for my clients. I specialize in working with clients with anxiety, eating disorders/body image issues, OCD, relationship issues, ASD, ADHD, self-esteem, and sex and intimacy issues. I work with children, adolescents, adults, families, couples and LGBTQ+ individuals.

My primary clinical focus has been treating adults from diverse backgrounds with anxiety and panic disorders, mood disorders, trauma, self-esteem issues, relational distress, adjustment, and multicultural issues. I draw upon principles of CBT, Narrative and Trauma Therapy, Inner Child Work, Attachment theory, Psychodynamic Theory, and Mindfulness-Based Practices and have experience with individual and group work in South Asia and U.S.A.
I have worked with people with co-occurring diagnoses for over 4 years, primarily working with individuals with ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder, anxiety, bipolar disorders, depression, trauma, schizophrenia, and substance use. I have found utilizing cultural competency and adapting to clients’ individual needs and strengths to be paramount in my work.
I have extensive experience working with diverse populations in various stages of life. I have been in private practice for over 6 years now and have previously interned with Zucker Hillside Hospital's outpatient program where I gained experience treating adults in both individual and group therapy settings. The varying needs that I work with include trauma, anxiety, depression, ADHD, life transitions, relationship issues, and self-esteem.
I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor specializing in anxiety, depression, and mood disorders, working with adolescents, adults, couples, and families.

I enjoy working with adolescents to middle aged women who are looking to improve relationships, feeling ashamed of who they are, and are struggling with anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem as a result. Women face unique challenges throughout their lives, and it is my goal to help them overcome these obstacles so they can live a happier, more fulfilling life.

I am a sex-positive, poly, kink affirming therapist and has a diverse clinical background working with LGBTQIA+, GNC, ENM, first and second generation immigrant adults and members of the BIPOC community. I bring my background in empirical research to my counseling practice, integrating an interest and commitment to evidence based practice with a deeply compassionate and relational approach.
I often work with those who feel stuck—whether in their thoughts, emotions, or behaviors—but open to exploring new ways of approaching life’s difficulties. You might feel exhausted from trying to control everything or overwhelmed by uncertainty. Maybe you’re seeking relief from distress but also want deeper insight into yourself and lasting change, not just a temporary fix.
