I have extensive experience working with individuals who have faced trauma or significant life stressors. I am passionate about guiding these individuals on their healing journeys through evidence-based approaches, including psychoeducation, Trauma-Focused Therapy, decolonization therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Anchor relational therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing, Person-Centered Therapy, Islamically integrated psychotherapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy.
