Supervisor: Emily Brems, LMFT

I enjoy working with individuals, couples, and families navigating anxiety, trauma, grief and loss that is often rooted in relationship concerns, family conflict, identity development, and life transitions.

As the daughter of Afghan refugees and immigrants, I bring a deep appreciation for the ways culture, family, faith, migration, and intergenerational experiences shape identity, relationships, and mental health. These experiences have strengthened my commitment to providing inclusive, culturally responsive care while approaching each client with curiosity, respect, and humility.

My clinical perspective is rooted in cultural humility, systemic thinking, and a lifelong fascination with human biology and the brain. I believe individuals cannot be fully understood outside the context of their relationships, culture, family, community, and lived experiences. I strive to provide culturally responsive care that honors each client's unique identity, values, strengths, and personal story.

I am particularly interested in understanding how brain development, trauma, attachment, stress, and life experiences shape the way we think, feel, and relate to others. I enjoy integrating this understanding with a systemic perspective that considers the influence of family, culture, and relationships on overall well-being.

My goal as a therapist is to create a warm, collaborative environment where clients feel seen, heard, and respected. I believe meaningful change occurs when people can explore their experiences in a space that values their strengths, relationships, and cultural identities.
