I have been exploring the body-mind connection as a dedicated mindfulness-practitioner and meditator for over a decade. I believe that each individual holds great capacity for healing and growth. My job is to help you uncover those resources that allow each of us to live more fully and authentically. My work is informed by many somatically-oriented modalities: Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, Hakomi, Richard Schwartz's Internal Family Systems, as well as the most current research in attachment, neurobiology, and trauma. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapy Therapist and certified Sensorimotor Psychotherapist (MFT 122930).

I offer couple counseling, family therapy, and individual therapy. Couples often seek to repair communication, rebuild trust, or deepen emotional intimacy. Family clients come to navigate changing dynamics, strengthen co-parenting, or address longstanding patterns of conflict or disconnection. In individual therapy, clients may be working to heal from trauma, move through grief, or find relief from depression, anxiety, or chronic stress. Across all of these, I support people who are facing daunting diagnoses, major life transitions, or spiritual shifts — and who are ready to engage directly with mindfulness and clarity.

My therapeutic approach mainly focuses on helping my clients identify their strengths to help alleviate anxiety, depression, and trauma. I am a firm believer that our childhood experiences contribute to our beliefs, behavioral patterns, and selecting a romantic partner. Therapy is a process! To allow ourselves to be intimate and vulnerable with someone about our experiences and trauma can be daunting. As a therapist, it is my goal to help validate, create a safe environment and help understand aspects of lived experiences.

My framework as a psychotherapist is inspired by black feminist sci-fi writer, Octavia E. Butler who saw the possibility of many more worlds than just our own. I believe that transformative internal healing is critical to envisioning and building these worlds without the presence of imperialism, white supremacy, capitalism and cishet-patriarchy. The tools I use to support the exploration of individual, interpersonal and intergenerational trauma are shaped by abolition that rejects punitive and scarcity mindsets and disability justice which strives to value every body.

I care about creating a safe and genuine connection for you to share your experiences and talk about the things that have been burdening you. More often than not, the "symptoms" that end up getting in the way of enjoying ourselves and our relationships are the outcome of not listening to our emotions and instincts. Therefore, my focus is on helping you connect to this part of yourself to help you find peace, enjoyment, and freedom.

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.

Mental health challenges are due to the aftereffects of traumatic experiences. Trauma can place a strain on your family, work, relationships, and even cause issues with self-worth. I specialize in trauma therapy along with treating personality disorders, depression, anxiety, ADHD, and addiction. All these disorders can look different from person to person, and that is where our therapeutic journey of empowerment and self-exploration begins. I concentrate on creating a safe space of growth and self-discovery through unconditional positive regard, emotional regulation, and guided activities.

If we think about an iceberg, or even a volcano, we typically can see what’s above water, or above ground. And yet, what is beneath is immense and powerful. I hold that the same is true for people, in terms of what governs our consciousness. If we can get a bit closer to the stuff that lies below the surface, then what happens above may begin to look and feel a bit different. Signing up for therapy is no small feat! It means carving out space and time to truly focus on yourself in the hopes of finding greater fulfillment, peace and happiness in your life.

Most people who reach out to me feel like there's some sort of a gap between what they want and what they have. This gap is uncomfortable, upsetting, or might be painful. And often it's unclear why this gap exists or what can be done to close it or at least narrow it down a bit. Each one of us has a set of life circumstances that need to be taken into account when attempting to improve on our lived-experience. Psychotherapy is the arena in which those personal circumstances, individual preferences, needs, wants, and struggles can be explored.

Therapy can help you overcome difficulties, live creatively, and feel more alive. Many people become stuck in ways of thinking and living that no longer serve them. Through a caring therapeutic relationship, you can develop the courage to live in a meaningful and fulfilling way. Over the past 25 years, I have helped people with a wide variety of issues work through significant challenges, freeing them to make better choices. In addition to my clinical work, I teach and supervise at various training programs throughout the Bay Area, and was the Director of Counseling at California College of the Arts for 15 years.
