You did what you were supposed to do. You worked hard & showed up, but somewhere between meeting everyone else's expectations & carrying what you never asked to carry, you lost the thread back to yourself. You're not sleeping well, you 2nd guess yourself; you're not sure if it's depression, anxiety, trauma, or just the weight of living between two worlds. Probably all of it. Maybe you're 1st or 2nd gen, SWANA, or Latinx carrying what your family couldn't name & what your community doesn't talk about. You're grieving quietly, fighting perfectionistic tendencies, while still trying to get through the week.
That's not a disorder. That's your nervous system responding to real, layered pressure. I'm an Arab immigrant therapist who works with adults who are exhausted by how much they hold. Together, we look at how these experiences live in your body & mind, your relationships, and all the stories you've been telling yourself for years.
We work with what it means to exist between cultures, to lose your confidence slowly, to reach for perfectionism as a form of safety. My approach is culturally grounded, body-informed, and rooted in social justice & a recognition of harmful systems. I use tools from brainspotting, IFS, & EMDR. You've carried enough alone. Reach out for a free consultation.

Treatment types are not a one size fits all, especially for BIPOC. In the first couple of sessions, I begin by building rapport, understanding your challenges and what needs to be processed, and collaborating with you on what works best for you. I often combine brainspotting, parts and somatic work to begin to untangle trauma, work stress, beliefs from childhood, and any other issues.
