Although several factors influence the outcome of therapy, few are as important as the alliance between therapist and client. By using a client-centered and culturally sensitive approach, my goal as a therapist is to understand your narrative through empathy, allow you to truly dictate what it is that you seek from therapy and collaborate with you to discover how you can achieve it. I have had an academic and professional career that has taken me through several different countries including Kuwait, India and Canada, and had me work with people from vastly different cultural backgrounds with equally diverse concerns.
