LPC
Education
Saint Joseph’s University, Chestnut Hill College
Experience
I have over 8 years of experience providing mental health services to children, adolescents, couples, and families, in various treatment settings
Expertise
I specialize in couples counseling, Islamic-based therapy, attention disorders, anxiety, depression, autism spectrum disorders, and mood disorders
Treatment Philosophy
I use a combination of empirically-supported treatments, including but not limited to: Person-Centered Therapy, Pragmatic/Experiential Therapy for Couples (PET-C), Gottman Integrative Therapy, Bowen Family Systems Therapy, Islamic Integrated Psychotherapy (IIP), Psychological Assessment, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing
Guiding Principles
My therapeutic practice focuses heavily on introspection and self-discovery, as each individual’s journey is unique. I apply doctoral skills to my practice, using psychological assessment and implementation. I strongly believe cultural competence is necessary in therapeutic practice, and I am familiar with several Desi cultures and am semi-fluent in Hindi. I am a member of the Muslim Association of Psychological Services (MAPS) and the founder of the New Jersey chapter.
