About Me

As a Licensed Clinical Psychologist, I apply insights from extensive research to support your well-being. My background as a top international researcher and author informs how I approach your unique challenges. I help individuals navigate life's complexities, sharing practical wisdom drawn from my published books like "Own Your Life." Clients seeking a therapist with a strong academic foundation, focused on personal growth, will find a supportive space. I aim to guide you towards greater resilience.

Approach

Building on that commitment to breaking barriers around mental health, I work collaboratively to map your experience into clear, manageable steps. In sessions we move at a steady, practical pace—combining focused assessment, thoughtful reflection, and homework that fits your life between meetings—always checking in on what helps most. I use evidence-informed techniques tailored to anxiety, trauma and relationship transitions while respecting cultural context and language (English or Hindi/Urdu), including remote sessions from Islamabad. People seeking practical, research-grounded support often find this approach reassuring and effective.
