Hi there, I'm Fatima!

My approach to therapy is eclectic and based on what you best respond to, but it is rooted in Gestalt and Existentialism. I specialize in trauma and working with Asian individuals, especially those who are first-generation or immigrants.

My focus

I have clients of all different age groups, from teenagers to older adults. I enjoy working with life transitions, trauma, and helping you identify areas of growth. I have also worked in a hospital setting and have experience working with the maintenance of Bipolar disorders and Personality Disorders.

My approach

My most common approach to therapy is "what the client needs". There is no one way to do therapy and no one approach that fits everyone. I'm trained and continue to be trained in several different approaches, including CBT, EMDR, DBT, SFBT, and Schema, but I use a blend of approaches that will work best for you.
