Therapists in New York

Life comes with surprises and challenges, and everyone needs some support along the way. One of the bravest things you can do is seek help to improve your mental health and understand yourself better. Together, we’ll enhance your well-being, making attainable and lasting changes in your life. Born in NYC to an Egyptian-American family, I draw from this dualistic heritage.

Here you'll find a safe, affirming space where you can explore your identity, confront personal challenges, & work towards mental & emotional well-being. Beyond the pursuit of coping - to thrive, embrace the journey with empowerment, self-discovery, & self-awareness.
