About Me

​

I am a first-generation Muslim American woman who emigrated from the Fiji Islands. I am determined to help others as they walk on their own path to find peace and healing. I have several years of experience working in diverse populations navigating through various challenges that impact an individual's quality of life. As a multi-cultural therapist I strive for cultural competence and recognize the various complexities that establish an individual identity.  

 

I have worked in behavioral health field as a behavior specialist for 5 years helping parents and families with children with behavioral needs such as Autism and ADHD.  I specialize in trauma use and have several years of experience supporting veterans children, and adults who have lived through sexual, emotional, physical and combat trauma. 

 

It is my belief that through every adversity, resiliency can be found.  I invite curiosity, compassion, and openness. Healing is not linear and often comes with both highs and lows. I believe true healing begins when we recognize our pain and allow space for gratitude, joy, and renewal.
