A LITTLE ABOUT US
Our Story
ATJ was born out of a decade of experience as a clinical director and seasoned therapist, where I witnessed countless women caught in cycles of powerlessness and confusion. I saw them reclaim their lives to live from a place of authenticity—transforming from feeling hopeless to feeling empowered in their thriving lives.
Throughout my profession, I encountered numerous women who shared similar questions, concerns, and a deep desire to break free from these cycles. Their struggles resonated deeply with me, reinforcing the importance of a nurturing, compassionate approach to healing. Being a mother further fueled my commitment; I discovered that the insights I gained as a therapist about attachment and the vital role of early relationships profoundly impact the rest of our lives. Yet, motherhood also brought its own challenges—my child often triggered my unresolved wounds, generational traumas, and disempowering narratives that I wasn’t aware of. Children are a gift and an opportunity for healing. We hear that our children are a test for us, I see that as a as our children can reawaken our deeper wounds, it’s an opportunity to get curious, expand our awareness and heal ourselves for our past.
Driven by a longing to try to live a life of true submission to Allah, I embarked on my own journey of inner work. I learned that while human kindness, generosity, grace, and nurturing are incredibly powerful and life changing, then how can that compare to Allah’s mercy, generosity, and compassion. This can help us have a healthier narrative about how we see Allah and how that can transform our relationship with Him. As I made the intent (and continue to renew my intent) my relationship with Allah, I started to see my willingness expand of difficult truths, have the courage to make difficult decisions that align with my values, trust to move towards healing and growth, learn and perceive wisdoms. I found that strengthening my bond with Allah also transformed my relationships—with myself, with others, and especially with my child.
Through my personal journey and by dedicating thousands of hours to learning, practicing, and healing others, ATJ was born out of a duty to serve. My mission is to help others heal, grow, and parent from a place of authenticity and empowerment—while also nurturing a deeper, more fulfilling submission to Allah. This is a journey of transformation, where the healing of our inner world leads to a life of clarity, connection, and profound gratitude.
Our Mission
At ATJ, we are dedicated to empowering parents with the tools and insights necessary to raise emotionally intelligent and compassionate children while staying true to their spiritual values. By integrating faith-based counseling approaches with Islamic guidance, we advocate for conscious parenting that emphasizes emotional regulation, patience, and meaningful connections. We help you build a peaceful home environment by healing old wounds and nurturing your inner drive for growth.
Defining Tarbiyah And approach
"Tarbiyah" is a journey of continuous growth—a process of refining our inner world so we can show up with wisdom, patience, and presence. Rooted in the teachings of Islam, tarbiyah is not just about raising children; it’s about raising ourselves. It is the art of nurturing our soul, deepening our faith, and cultivating virtues that guide our actions and relationships.
In sharing insights from my personal journey, I aim to inspire and guide you on your unique path to healing and growth. At ATJ, we honor the truth that every Tarbiyah journey is distinct—Allah has blessed each of us with different upbringings, personalities, family backgrounds, physical makeup, experiences, and intellect. It would be a disservice to both ourselves and to Allah to claim there’s a one-size-fits-all approach. Here, we focus on strengthening our inner selves, challenging and correcting those stuck and resistance points, emotional dysregulation and nurturing our individual paths, so that together we can cultivate a legacy of authentic, empowered parenting.
Our Core Values
Tarbiyah as a Lifelong Journey:
Healing and growth continue well beyond childhood. We evolve, refine our character, and deepen our connection with Allah.
Conscious & Faith-Based Parenting:
When we nurture ourselves, we create space to nurture our children—with patience, emotional intelligence, and presence.
Connection Over Control:
Parenting is about fostering trust, safety, and mutual respect—not power
struggles.
Compassion & Self-Forgiveness:
You are here to learn, unlearn, and grow with gentleness and grace—not to be
fixed.
Simplicity & Mindfulness:
In a noisy world, we embrace slow living and intentional rhythms and focus on what truly matters—faith, connection, and well-being.
Skepticism is Welcome:
If you’ve ever wondered, “Does this really work?” or felt uncertain because of your own upbringing, you’re in the right place. We meet you exactly where you are, offering guidance in a way that respects your mind and comfort. Allah has given you a body that holds wisdom and we teach you to honor it.
Clarity & Empowerment:
Gaining insight into your inner world unlocks the power to make transformative choices for yourself and your family.
Parenting Ourselves:
True parenting begins with how we care for ourselves. By healing past wounds and building inner safety, you set a powerful example for your children. And you parent from a place of safety and peace, which becomes conscious parenting.
The Power of Intention (Niyyah):
In our faith, every action is transformed by sincere intention. We bring deliberate awareness to how we parent, heal, and live.
