My name is Uzma, and I am the founder of BrightRoots Coaching. I am also an author, dedicated to creating meaningful literature that inspires and empowers parents.
My background includes a wide range of experiences that have supported hundreds of individuals and families over the years.
I hold a master’s degree in Counseling from Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University (Virginia Tech) and a bachelor’s degree in Business Economics from Queens College, City University of New York. While these fields may seem quite different, my professional journey began in the fast-paced world of downtown Manhattan. After spending a few years in that dynamic environment, I realized my true passion lay in working with people and supporting their growth. This realization led me to pursue a career in counseling; a path I have embraced wholeheartedly ever since.
For over a decade, I have supported youth, adults, and families as they navigate identity development, life transitions, and personal growth. My work is rooted in a person-centered approach, helping clients cultivate clarity, direction, and a greater sense of ease in their lives.
BrightRoots Coaching is currently in a season of growth. I am completing my clinical residency as a Resident in Counseling in Virginia, deepening my ability to support individuals and families through licensed mental health care. Coaching services are temporarily paused during this training period as I focus on this next stage of professional development.
