I believe in the transformative power of connection, seeing healing as inherently relational. My approach emphasizes community, creativity, and play, promoting curiosity and openness. I also understand how well-being is linked to context, environment, and history, alongside systemic factors. As an Arab woman, my cultural identity and lived experience guide my commitment to trauma-informed, anti-oppressive, culturally sensitive care as I walk beside you. While using a range of tools (e.g., art, somatic and breath work), I aim to co-create a safe, supportive space that empowers you to reframe challenges and find new paths to wellness.

As a trained art therapist, I use art as a powerful tool for creative nonverbal expression, to help clients communicate and explore their emotions; however, no artistic experience or skill is needed—art-making is always optional. My approach is flexible and client-led, helping you feel in control, with therapy tailored to your unique needs and comfort level.

I understand that reaching out for help and deciding who to turn to can be difficult, but I'm happy to answer any questions or curiosities you may have. I warmly invite you to book a session or free 15-min phone consultation on my webpage, to explore whether we’re a good fit. If not, I’m still committed to helping you find the right therapist for your needs.

In our first few sessions, we'll focus on building trust and a safe, supportive relationship. Our co-created sessions will follow a familiar rhythm: First, using a metaphor to check in on where to focus. In the session's heart, we'll explore your goals through discussion, art, or other tools. To close, we'll gently wrap up and ensure boundaries are set, so you leave feeling grounded and secure.
