As a daughter of a narcissistic mother and someone who has endured religious trauma, I want you to know this first: you are not alone. I was born and raised in Pakistan and have navigated my own journey through anxiety, CPTSD, depression, and dyslexia. For a long time, I carried guilt, confusion, and the quiet feeling of never being fully seen. Therapy was a meaningful and supportive part of my healing, and I’m grateful for the clarity it provided. Over time, I also began attending peer support groups, where I experienced something deeply transformative, being witnessed by others who showed up vulnerably and met me as an equal. That sense of shared humanity shifted my healing in profound ways. I originally trained and worked as a medical doctor, but I came to understand that my heart was in creating spaces centered on connection, presence, and lived experience.

What I Hope to Share
I hope to offer a steady, compassionate space, one free of pressure, judgment, or authority dynamics, where you can feel heard, seen, and respected. My intention is not to lead from above, but to sit alongside you as we gently explore your story at your own pace. I also come with openness, to continue learning, growing, and connecting within a community rooted in empathy and courage. I believe that when we show up vulnerably and meet one another as equals, healing doesn’t feel forced; it unfolds naturally. If you are untangling the impact of a narcissistic parent or religious trauma, I would be honored to walk alongside you.
What Brought Me to ShareWell
The most significant turning point in my journey came through peer support. Sitting in circles where people spoke honestly and listened without hierarchy showed me how healing begins when we feel safe, equal, and understood. I realized I wanted to help create that kind of space for others. That calling led me to become a Certified Peer Support Specialist and to seek platforms like ShareWell, where authentic connection and mutual support are valued. I am here because I believe healing deepens when we are no longer navigating pain alone.
