I am a first generation Palestinian American, queer non binary femme passionate about supporting folks through their healing journey. I strive to create space for identity exploration and healing from systems through an intersectional feminist lens. I believe our bodies are storytellers and therapy is an opportunity to focus our attention on the various parts and pieces of ourselves that have been hurting or disconnected. My hope is that you will find more freedom in engaging meaningful relationships including the one with yourself.

I am curious and compassionate in my relationship to clients with varying needs and backgrounds.

Therapy is an environment that can offer different things to different people. While I can't be all things to all people, my goal is to offer space for therapy to be about the client and what they want. Whether you know what that is or are hoping to figure it out along the way, therapy with me will offer a place to have challenging conversations, play with what the future might hold, and explore your wants and needs and how to meet them.

I work to best understand your perspective, provide empathetic listening, and teach skills to build resiliency against depression, anxiety, and trauma. I work from the perspective that we are influenced and impacted by the people and situations in our lives. Understanding how these relationships affect us helps us to better understand our behavior and allow for positive growth. I believe that through working together, each individual/family can develop skills that promote living a meaningful, healthy, and purpose-filled life. I have a unique understanding and awareness of varying cultural perspectives that influence our lives.

Welcome. Whatever your reasons for seeking therapy at this time, my goal as a provider is to make the experience both a comfortable and value added one for you. I've been a psychotherapist for thirty-plus years and know it’s not always easy to take the first step, or open up to a stranger. I've never had a one size fits all approach to psychotherapy. Instead I try to tailor my practice to fit the needs of each person as an individual with a unique set of experiences and concerns.

I believe that therapy is about finding your authentic self and learning to embrace suffering that is part of life. It is my passion to develop a genuine relationship with my clients where we can safely have difficult conversations, face, and resolve conflicts, and experience your authentic self, including your pain. I will work with you to tune into your true self, recognize your unfavorable coping mechanisms, and discover self-compassionate ways of living. My therapeutic modality is a blend of Mindfulness, Trauma focused and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy.

We as people function as individual parts in many systems. Both being impacted by and impacting the others around us. For many people issues arise when there is an imbalance between ourselves and the systems around us. When expectations are not met we often find ourselves struggling with finding balance and well-being. My goal as a clinician is to understand you as an individual functioning as a part of your cultural, social, and professional system to create a space to restore balance and peace.

Talk therapy is great, but what many of the people I work with have missed in past therapy experiences is how to implement what they have learned about themselves into their real life. Self-regulation is key and after establishing a solid foundation using skills training for increasing distress tolerance and emotion regulation, I work with people to get at the root of the problems they are experiencing by using EMDR therapy and other interventions that address the core stuff, which is often the stuff that has kept us stuck in patterns that hurt. From there, we can work on improving your relationships and personal development.

A client coming into my office would have issues with self-esteem, anxiety, trauma, depression, relationships, interpersonal feelings, eating disorders, and how they view themselves to the outside world. My goal is to help individuals express their feelings, thoughts, and behaviors to promote their welfare. I strive to create a non-judgmental, healthy, and friendly environmental approach for individuals to express themselves openly. Being able to build rapport and understand the perspective of what others are experiencing through their life struggles is a vital part of reaching success in the therapeutic process.
