In therapy, I focus on building resilience and empowerment, helping you navigate life's challenges while fostering a deeper connection with your true self. My approach is collaborative and tailored to your unique experiences, offering support as you work towards insight, healing, and a more fulfilling future. When working with me, clients can expect a compassionate, client-centered experience where we work together to address your needs, strengthen your coping skills, and unlock your potential. Through our sessions, you will develop a stronger sense of self, learn to navigate difficulties with greater resilience, and leave with actionable strategies for ongoing well-being.
As a Mental Health Counselor (MHC) born in Saudi Arabia and with roots in India, I offer a multicultural perspective to therapy. My approach blends psychoanalytic therapy to explore subconscious origins of issues with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to address present thoughts and behaviors. Clients can expect a secure, empathetic space where we collaboratively navigate, akin to having a guiding compass, to piece together the jigsaw puzzle of their life. Through this process, I aim to empower clients with insights, self-awareness, and practical tools for personal growth and resilience. My goal is to assist clients in understanding themselves deeply, fostering positive change, and equipping them with skills for a fulfilling life beyond our sessions. Together, we'll embark on a journey toward healing and self-discovery, tailored to individual needs and cultural contexts.
I am an empathetic and caring counselor who works to establish a safe, non-judgemental atmosphere for clients to express themselves openly. My practice is based on the ideals of active listening, honesty and collaboration, as I assist clients in articulating and understanding their thoughts and feelings. Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Strength based techniques, I help clients identify effective coping techniques for dealing with challenges and additionally facilitate an opportunity for self-understanding and personal growth. My goal is to support people in taking responsibility for their healing process through resilience and self-forgiveness. I respect each client's unique life experience and perspective and adjust my style to their individual needs. In a relatable and organized therapeutic process, I assist clients in discovering purpose, empowered coping skills and sparked belief in their abilities to deal with the challenges of life. I am aiming to build a consistent relationship based on trust and mutual respect, to gain understanding, heal and inspire enduring change!
