Building ease and peace in relationships

As a therapist with ten years of experience as a psychologist and professor in my home country, Bangladesh, I have helped hundreds of families and couples improve their relationships and understand each other better. Maybe you find you have reached a crossroads in your relationship or family, or you are feeling or hopeless about parenting, financial issues, or how to work together as a family after a new baby arrives, or after a move or a job change. I’ll work with you first to help understand the stressors in your family or relationship, and then to learn how to move through the struggle to more joy and peace. This is how I’ll help you build a solid foundation for your family. 

I believe our connections to other people are a crucial part of our health and how we view the world, and that therapy must be culturally sensitive in order to be effective. I am trained in EMDR and emotion-focused couple therapy, as well as other modalities to treat families and couples who have experienced relationship issues related to traumatic experiences. My first goal is always to help people understand their unique strengths and needs. Currently  I am pursuing my doctorate in couple and family therapy at the University of Minnesota.
