She holds a Master of Theological Studies (Spiritual Care and Chaplaincy) from University Of Western Ontario and a Bachelor of Medicine and Surgery, offering a unique perspective that bridges psychological understanding and medical insight.

She has recently completed an Advanced Diploma in Islamic Psychology (England) and brings a culturally humble, client-centered approach to integrating its principles and spiritual traditions into therapy, when clinically appropriate and requested by her Muslim clients. 

She brings a spirit of curiosity to her work and is committed to ongoing learning and the development of new skills and competencies.

Fluent in English, Urdu, and Hindi, and familiar with Arabic, Nazish strives to make therapy a purposeful and accessible experience.
