Hi, I'm Hana.

A Bay Area–born South Asian Muslim queer woman, mother, therapist, teacher, and dancer.

I offer a warm, grounded space rooted in curiosity, connection, and care.

I have nearly 20 years of professional experience in advocacy, education, and the arts, most of which has been in direct service.

I’m especially attuned to the nuances of diaspora identities and approach healing through an anti-racist, decolonial, and intersectional lens. I strive to bring both depth and lightness into my work.

I care deeply about breaking cycles of harm and supporting holistic healing across body, mind, spirit, and community. It would be an honor to walk alongside you in your journey of growth and repair.

Education & Qualifications

You’re curious about your inner world, looking to understand patterns, and wanting to build healthier connections.

Maybe it’s your first time in therapy, or maybe you’ve been here before — either way, you’re welcome.

I often work with QTBIPOC, young adults, neurodivergent people, educators, artists, healing practitioners, parents, and couples (including those in non-traditional relationship structures).

I also support people exploring harm reduction.

ABOUT YOU

ABOUT US

We’ll move at a pace that feels right for you.

My style is patient, collaborative, and flexible, offering empathy, reflection, and validation along the way.

Many clients leave sessions feeling more grounded, resilient, and empowered.

My goal is to work myself out of a job ;)

Together, we might draw on mindfulness, creative expression, or grounding practices you can carry into daily life.

I also support depth-oriented work, including IFS aka “parts” therapy, shadow work, inner child exploration, and integrating non-ordinary states of consciousness.

FAQs

  • We can hold sessions virtually, or in-person at my office in Oakland, California.

  • 30 min initial consultation: $0

    60 min: $200

    *90 min: $250

    I utilize an equity-based sliding scale* using the above rates as a starting point. During the initial consult, we will reference the lists below to collaboratively determine your session rate. 

    Consider paying less if you:

    • are Queer, Trans, Black, Brown, Indigenous, a Person of the Global Majority and in need of financial support

    • are under age 26 and not financially supported by your family

    • have significant debt or receive public assistance

    • have medical expenses not covered by insurance

    • are an elder with limited financial support

    • have limited earning power due to being Disabled, Chronically Ill, Neurodivergent, or formerly incarcerated

    Consider paying more if you:

    • have a professional license and/or graduate degree

    • work part-time by choice

    • have privileges based on gender identity, class background, being Neurotypical, non-Disabled etc.

    • travel recreationally

    • have access to spousal, partnership, or family support at times of financial need

    • have investments or retirement accounts

    • want to “pay it forward” so that I may open up additional low-fee slots for others

    *90 min sessions are best for couples and/or anyone wanting a bit more support 

    *As of 2025, all my lower-fee slots are filled (I am currently not accepting new clients for less than my base rates of $200/$250).

  • While I'm not currently accepting insurance, I'm happy to provide you with a receipt of services ("superbill") in order to submit reimbursement claims to your insurance company.
