Fatima is here to support you with personal development, self-esteem, depression, and imposter syndrome.
Fatima supports individuals who want to improve their self-esteem, reduce stress levels and kick imposter syndrome aside. Fatima is passionate about helping you build a personalized toolbox filled with creative strategies to reduce overwhelm, build your self-worth and embrace self-love. Through her lived experience with these challenges, Fatima understands how difficult and discouraging it is to not trust yourself, and lose your sense of purpose. By working together, Fatima will help you reframe these negative thinking patterns.
In her sessions, Fatima uses art-based activities and other therapy tools to help you improve your self-esteem, explore your unique strengths, learn to set boundaries with others, and explore how to build healthy thinking patterns. Fatima also helps build treatment plans with you and will often ask open-ended questions during sessions to help turn criticism into praise, setbacks into achievements and self-doubt into empowerment. Fatima often provides worksheets and homework so you can put your learnings into practice outside the therapy room. Fatima is always open to feedback and adjusting your treatment plan to meet your needs.
When she is not in session, Fatima enjoys arts and crafts! Additionally, she loves hot yoga, meditates, cooks healthy meals, and journals. When she needs something more playful, she’s always down for a quick walk and playtime with her dog, Rosie.
