I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in private practice located in midtown Manhattan near Bryant Park. 

I specialize in the treatment of OCD and OCD-Related Disorders in young adults and adults. I also specialize in Anxiety Disorders and often work with clients presenting with Social Anxiety, Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Panic Disorder, Health Anxiety, Obsessive Compulsive Personality Disorder and Perfectionism. 

I value collaborating with my clients and using evidence-based therapies such as Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy and Exposure and Response Prevention (ExRP) along with principles of Acceptance and Committment Therapy. 

I have been working with clients with OCD for many years and have in-depth knowledge of and experience with the various subtypes including, "Purely Obsessional", Harm OCD, Relationship OCD, Homosexual OCD and more. 

Furthermore, I also enjoy working with South Asian and Muslim populations to create awareness and understanding of "taboo thoughts" related to OCD that can negatively impact mental health and quality of life. 

Through empathy, compassion, humor and collaboration, my clients are able to create and achieve their goals successfully in a safe therapeutic environment.
