About Me

Assalamualaikum,

I’m Menahal!

If you’re here, it’s because you’re looking for something more in your marriage. You’re tired of feeling like you’re just existing alongside your spouse, stuck in the same frustrating cycles of conflict, misunderstanding, and emotional distance. You want to feel connected again, to reignite that spark, and to feel truly supported—not just in your marriage, but in life.

I understand exactly where you’re coming from.

As a child of immigrant parents raised in America, I’ve experienced firsthand the emotional complexities that come from living between two cultures. Growing up, I had to navigate the expectations of being Muslim alongside the pressures of a society that didn’t always understand or embrace those values. This has given me a unique perspective on the challenges many Muslim couples face—especially when it comes to balancing faith, culture, and marriage.

In my work as a therapist and marriage coach, I’ve seen it all: couples fighting over the same issues again and again, feeling disconnected and alone despite being together, and wondering if the love they once shared can ever be restored. Most of what’s out there to support couples doesn’t take into account the deep, nuanced realities that Muslim couples face—the complexity of balancing family obligations, cultural expectations, and religious principles, all while trying to hold on to the connection that brought them together in the first place.

That’s why I created the Muslim Marriage Reset. This program is more than just a set of tools for conflict resolution. It’s a way for you to reconnect with your spouse—emotionally, spiritually, and practically.

As a licensed therapist trained in the Gottman Method and trauma treatment, I combine evidence-based relationship strategies with my deep understanding of Islamic principles. But what really sets this program apart is that it doesn’t just focus on fixing the surface-level issues. It’s about going deeper—healing from past wounds and trauma, rebuilding emotional intimacy, and creating a marriage that feels balanced, loving, and full of connection.

I know that seeking help can feel daunting, and you might have already tried different solutions that didn’t work. Whether it was advice from an imam that didn’t quite hit the mark, or a therapist who didn’t understand the cultural and religious context of your marriage, I understand why that might leave you feeling disheartened. But I also know that you can transform your relationship. You can reconnect, rebuild, and create the marriage you’ve been longing for. My mission is to help Muslim couples heal and thrive in their marriages, without feeling torn between their religion, culture, and personal desires. I’m passionate about guiding you through this process, using tools and strategies that are rooted in Islamic teachings while being grounded in the realities of modern marriage.

I’ve worked with countless couples, helping them break free from the frustration and disconnection that kept them stuck for years. And I’m confident that you can experience that same transformation. It’s not about perfection—it’s about progress, and taking the first step towards a deeper, more meaningful connection with your spouse.

If you’re ready to start that journey, I’d love to walk with you.
