My ideal clients are ambitious adults who feel plateaued or stuck in their work, relationships, or healing journey.

At the same time you're struggling with perfectionism, people pleasing or imposter syndrome. You’ve come far on talent and drive, but the strategies that you've used to protect and propel you are now holding you back. You always say it, but everything's not ok.

Therapy isn’t about fixing who you are; it’s about understanding yourself more deeply and creating space for the life you want to live. You may find yourself overthinking, feeling emotionally exhausted, making sense of a previous or existing diagnosis, experiencing new or unfamiliar symptoms, navigating a season of change, or sensing that something in your life no longer feels right. Therapy offers a space to slow down, explore what’s beneath the surface, and gain clarity about yourself and the patterns shaping your life. Together, we’ll work toward meaningful change with greater confidence, intention, and self-understanding.

I work with individuals and couples dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, and the impact of trauma, shame, or difficult past experiences. Many feel stuck in patterns they can’t break, like overthinking, emotional distance, or repeated conflict. Together, we slow things down, understand what’s driving these patterns, and work toward more clarity, stability, and meaningful change.

I work with thoughtful adults and couples who understand themselves well and still feel stuck — in anxiety, burnout, repeating patterns, or relationships that are not working the way they want. Many have done the intellectual work. They know the why. What they are looking for is a different kind of experience — therapy that goes deeper than insight alone and helps them feel less ruled by what no longer fits. I offer identity-affirming care for LGBTQIA+ clients and those in nontraditional or polyamorous relationships, with genuine respect for complexity and lived experience.

What can an Arab and Middle Eastern therapist help with?
An Arab and Middle Eastern therapist can support clients with a wide range of mental health concerns, including anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, grief, and major life transitions. However, what may make their approach unique is their ability to integrate an understanding of the cultural, family, and social factors that may be shaping your mental health concerns. If you identify with a Middle Eastern background, such as Arab, North African, Lebanese, Syrian, Iraqi, or Palestinian, working with a therapist who is familiar with values surrounding family loyalty, community expectations, religion, marriage, and caregiving responsibilities can help reduce the need to explain yourself in sessions and better support your healing in the context of your background.
How does cultural background influence the therapy experience?
A therapist who personally identifies as Arab or Middle Eastern may offer a deeper understanding of cultural norms, family dynamics, religious beliefs, migration experiences, and the stigma that may surround mental health in some communities. This shared cultural framework can make it easier to build trust and focus more directly on healing. It is also important to note that a therapist does not have to share your background to provide effective therapy. In some cases, finding a culturally competent therapist may be just as important as finding one who shares your background.
What role can language play in therapy?
Language plays a central role in how people process and express emotions. Even for individuals who are fluent in English, certain feelings, memories, or experiences may be easier to describe in the language they grew up speaking or thinking in, such as Arabic, Farsi, Hebrew, Kurdish, or Turkish. Clients may feel more comfortable expressing themselves without having to translate their thoughts, which can reduce the risk of losing meaning or nuance. For many Arab and Middle Eastern clients, language is also closely tied to family relationships. Being able to move between English and your native language in therapy can help reflect real-life dynamics, such as communicating with family members in one language and navigating work or school in another. This flexibility to move between languages in sessions can make therapy feel more natural and relevant to daily life.
How might I inquire about a therapist’s experience with Arab and Middle Eastern clients?
If cultural background is important to you in therapy, it can be helpful to ask a prospective therapist whether they have experience working with Arab and Middle Eastern clients. In initial conversations with potential therapists, you might ask whether they have worked with concerns related to cultural identity, immigration, family expectations, intergenerational conflict, discrimination, or stigma around mental health. As sessions begin, it can be helpful to notice how the therapist responds to your concerns. A strong therapeutic alliance does not necessarily require a therapist to share your background, but they should respond to your concerns with respect and cultural humility. If you feel dismissed, misunderstood, or find yourself having to explain your background constantly, it may be worth considering another therapist.
Who is included in Psychology Today’s directory of Arab and Middle Eastern therapists?
The directory of Arab and Middle Eastern therapists includes professionals who have shared their ethnicity in their profiles. Psychology Today uses this information to assist clients in finding a therapist who can provide a cultural match. However, not all therapists choose to disclose their ethnicity in their profiles, and they may not appear in search results for this reason. When the number of therapists who have personally identified as Arab or Middle Eastern is limited, the directory may also show therapists with experience working with clients from relevant backgrounds.
