On my journey to be a LMFT my passion comes from helping individuals, couples, and families navigate life’s challenges. With a unique blend of personal and professional experiences, I specialize in working with clients facing life transitions, relationship issues, and cultural identity struggles. My approach is grounded in empathy and collaboration, where I work alongside you to foster healthier communication, stronger connections, and a deeper understanding of yourself and your loved ones. As a Tunisian-American and a single father who grew up in MN, speaking both French and Arabic, I bring a multicultural lens. Let's Connect.
I understand the complexities of identity, family dynamics, and code-switching that many individuals and families experience. Whether you're dealing with grief, parenting challenges, or seeking greater harmony in your relationships, I strive to provide a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can explore your feelings, heal, and grow.
In addition to therapy, I have a strong background in community development and social justice, having worked with diverse populations in both nonprofit and professional settings. My goal is to empower you to create meaningful change in your life and to guide you through the process of building stronger, more fulfilling relationships.

I primarily use Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT). In our sessions, we'll focus on your strengths and the solutions that have worked for you before. Instead of analyzing problems in depth, we'll explore your goals and what small steps you can take to move forward. SFBT is designed to help you make meaningful changes quickly by building on what's already working in your life.
