I believe therapy through consistency and ritual will encourage and create, in you, growth and self compassion. My goal is to help you access your internal and external resources, identify your strengths, and use them to reach your full potential. My goal is to hold space in therapy for you to practice building healthy connections with yourself and the world around you. I am eager to support you in practicing boundary setting, for yourself, and others. To find assertive and healthy ways to communicate your authentic truth. Together, we will help you to increase your ability to better cope with the hard moments life presents us with.
I am bilingual (English/Arabic) and practicing from a cross-cultural understanding. Centering an intersectional feminist, social justice and eco-psychology lens, a trauma-informed approach, and a relational-cultural framework. Modalities I utilize include Art Therapy, Somatic Experiencing, and EMDR.
I want to support you in developing, and implementing self-regulation tools to calm the nervous system. Let us start with a 15 minute phone consultation, and discuss next steps together. Reaching out is a courageous step, I will be here to receive you when you are ready.
