About

Your first session with me will probably be quieter than you expect. A little small talk, one good question, and suddenly the hour has gone somewhere real. I practice harm reduction, which means your dignity and safety come before anyone's timeline for your recovery. If an Islamic framework shapes your life, it is welcome in this work as a strength, never a complication. Guilt fades quickly, but your own reasons for change can hold their weight for a lifetime, so those are what we will look for. I understand why that detail matters to some people before they ever reach out, and it is okay if it matters to you. My clients describe our work as like talking to a friend who knows when to stay quiet and when to speak up. I keep my caseload small on purpose; I would rather know a few people deeply than many people barely. If quiet encouragement is what you have been missing, send me a message.
