There’s a particular kind of loneliness that comes from carrying things you were never given the words to say out loud, feeling caught between worlds, between who your family expects you to be and who you actually are, between the strong version of yourself everyone sees and the tired version no one does. Many of us wonder if we are “bad enough” to deserve support, or if asking for help means letting our family down. If any of that sounds familiar, you are in the right place. Together, we will move at your pace, in whichever language feels closest to your heart.
I draw from body-based awareness, mindfulness, ACT, and CBT, woven with a warm, culturally responsive approach. Healing happens in the mind and body, through slowing down and finding your way back to wholeness. As a Pre-Licensed Professional under supervision (MACP, Yorkville University), your culture and story are already understood here.
I work with teens and adults navigating cultural identity, family pressure, and the weight of things left unsaid. I bring years of experience supporting neurodivergent individuals and their families. Together, we build self-awareness, resilience, and a kinder relationship with yourself, and come home to who you have always been.

Living in-between cultures carries a quiet ache, the grief of leaving parts of ourselves behind, the exhaustion of translating who we are. Bilingual in English and Arabic with Palestinian roots, I understand the in-between.

Reaching out can feel like betraying your family or culture. You are not betraying anyone, wanting support is an act of care. Begin quietly, in your own time, in your own language, without having to explain yourself first.
