Hi! My name is Amal. One of the most important things to me is building an honest, genuine, and collaborative therapeutic relationship with my clients. As a queer black woman, my goal is to provide a safe and inviting space for people like me who have felt silenced, misrepresented, and marginalized a majority of their lives. I encourage all of my clients to take a hands on approach to their therapy by taking charge and providing feedback.I have a passion for working with women of color and LGBTQIA+ identifying folks.
I have past experience working with clients facing life adjustments (moving, end of a relationship, career change, etc.), grief and loss, day-to-day stressors, depression, anxiety, and relationship concerns - romantic, platonic, familial, and professional.
I do my best to have social justice and black feminist perspectives throughout my sessions. I like to take an integrative approach to counseling using person-centered, strength-based, solution-focused, CBT, and mindfulness approaches, but the most important piece in my practice is building an honest and genuine relationship with my clients.
