Psychotherapy is a deeply personal and intimate undertaking that allows us to privately express, explore, and make sense of our lives and histories. I offer a style that is down-to-earth, thoughtful, practical, and playful. Because each person seeks out therapy for different reasons and brings a complex history, I tailor each treatment to meet your unique needs, goals, strengths, culture, and preferences.

As the days pass, the discontent within you becomes harder to ignore.

I deeply believe in our innate capacity to heal, and I hold great reverence for the creative wisdom and resilience of the people I accompany in this work. My clinical approach is rooted in relational psychodynamic and politicized somatic lineages. I work intuitively and collaboratively, bringing a holistic and compassionate approach to the unique nature of each therapeutic relationship, supporting clients in building upon their wise and adaptive capacities with greater self-knowledge, compassion and support. I attune to the ways each of us is dialectically shaped by, and shaping, the conditions of the world around us.

Do you ever feel like you’re searching for a sense of home, both within yourself and in the world? As an Arab immigrant living in the US, I intimately understand what it means to live between multiple worlds feeling like you don’t fully belong in any. The journey to find home—whether it’s within your cultural identity, relationships, or your own body—can be confusing and isolating. My goal is to help you reconnect to a sense of home that feels true to you. I identify as free-spirited, non-conventional, and non-conforming, and I bring these qualities into the therapeutic space.

Are you (or your child) feeling overwhelmed by the many crises of our time? I specialize in whole-bodied therapy to address symptoms related to anxiety, grief, and trauma for adults, youth, and families. Many of the people I work with identify as "sensitive" and have been called "overly sensitive" by an insensitive world. As a therapist, I do not aim to support people in simply "feeling better" or getting rid of their emotions of grief, anxiety, or sadness. Instead, I aim to support the uncovering, expression, and channeling of these sacred emotions as fuel to repair the wounds of both our individual lives and of the world.
