I work with people who feel disconnected from their emotions, stuck in their relationships, or unsure how to fully identify what they feel. In our work together, you’ll have a supportive, attuned space to slow down, process your feelings, and develop greater emotional awareness. My approach is warm and nurturing, while also honest and direct when something important needs attention. Together, we’ll identify your relational patterns and talk through how they may be limiting you, so new ways of relating can emerge.
We’ll examine early attachment and childhood experiences to understand how unconscious patterns show up in your relationships, emotions, and the way you relate to yourself today.
I specialize in relationship issues, C-PTSD, grief, trauma, anxiety, and depression, with a focus on bicultural, multicultural, and 1st generation children of immigrants. I’m attuned to intergenerational trauma and the emotional experience of navigating multiple cultures and identities. I understand Levantine Arabic.
