I am faith-based therapist who understands the unspoken struggles of Muslim families while offering practical, judgment-free solutions.

My Ideal clients include Muslim women, teenage girls, and families struggling with mental health, Neuro-Divergence, parenting challenges, trauma, and family dynamics. Many have never sought therapy before due to cultural stigma, religious misconceptions, or financial concerns.

I help families with Parenting Struggles & Behavioral Issues in Children-

Many Muslim parents struggle with raising children in a way that balances faith, discipline, and emotional well-being.

Common issues include:

Emotional Outbursts & Tantrums – Parents often dismiss children’s emotions, leading to anger issues, emotional suppression, and anxiety.

Discipline vs. Emotional Connection – Many parents default to strict discipline (yelling, hitting, or emotional withdrawal) rather than understanding the child’s needs.

Lack of Positive Communication – Children fear expressing their emotions due to judgment, comparison, or harsh criticism.

Neuro divergence in Children (ADHD & Autism) – Parents may not understand their child’s hyperactivity, impulsiveness, or social struggles, assuming it’s just bad behavior.

Sibling Rivalry & Favoritism – Unhealthy comparisons between siblings cause resentment, low self-esteem, and emotional trauma.

Academic Pressure – Parents often push children to excel in school, leading to burnout, stress, and fear of failure.

Teenage Rebellion & Identity Struggles – Parents struggle to understand why teens resist rules, question faith, or seek independence.

Parental Burnout – Mothers, in particular, feel overwhelmed with household duties, childcare, and lack of emotional support.

2. Psychological Issues Often Denied in Muslim Families

Many mental health conditions are dismissed as "weak Imaan" or a lack of gratitude, leaving clients to suffer in silence. Common but often misunderstood issues include:

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) – Religious OCD (Waswasa) causing intrusive thoughts about purity, Salah, or sin.

Bipolar Disorder – Extreme mood swings, impulsive behavior, and emotional instability, often mistaken for “overreacting.”

Clinical Depression – Persistent sadness, lack of motivation, and hopelessness, dismissed as laziness or ungratefulness.

Body Image & Eating Disorders – Young women struggling with self-esteem due to beauty standards, marriage pressure, or social comparisons.

Parental Neglect & Emotional Unavailability – Many parents focus only on education, marriage, or discipline, neglecting emotional needs.

Postpartum Depression & Anxiety – New mothers struggle silently due to shame, guilt, and lack of support.

Childhood Emotional Neglect – Many clients grew up in homes where emotions were dismissed, ignored, or punished, leading to low self-esteem and emotional suppression.

3. ADHD & Autism in Muslim Women & Families

Misunderstood Behaviors – Forgetfulness, disorganization, and social difficulties often labeled as “laziness” or “disobedience.”

Struggles with Spirituality – Guilt over inconsistent Salah, fasting, or Quran recitation due to executive dysfunction.

Lack of Family Support – Parents or spouses dismiss ADHD/autism as “just excuses.”

Sensory Overwhelm & Emotional Dysregulation – Struggling in loud family gatherings, bright masjids, or social events without understanding why.

4. Cultural & Social Pressures Unique to Muslim Families

Parental Expectations vs. Mental Health – Clients feel torn between pleasing their parents and prioritizing their well-being.

Marriage & Gender Roles – Women pressured to marry young, prioritize family over personal growth, and suppress emotions.

Fear of Judgment – Mental health struggles hidden due to fear of gossip, family shame, or being seen as “unstable.”

Strict Family Structures – Lack of personal space, control over decisions, and resistance to therapy due to family involvement in all aspects of life.
