As a Muslim therapist, I care deeply about my sisters in Islam, and I believe that values are the foundation of my work; they are essential in creating a meaningful and transformative therapeutic experience. These values shape how I approach therapy, guide my interactions with clients, and strengthen my commitment to providing the highest quality care. By sharing my values with you, my hope is to create transparency and establish a foundation of understanding and trust.
