Maybe you are a first responder and a past event keeps showing up in the way you sleep or the way you can't relax. Maybe you are someone who had a birth that didn't go the way you thought it would.

EMDR is a structured, evidence-based therapy specifically for trauma. You don't have to talk through every detail of what happened for it to work. I specialize in EMDR for adults healing from trauma, birth trauma, and postpartum anxiety.

I work with children, teens, and adults who may be feeling anxious, emotionally overwhelmed, disconnected from themselves, or unsure how to carry the weight of what they’ve been through. I believe healing is deeply human, relational, and spiritual, and that therapy can become a space to gently reconnect with yourself in a more compassionate and grounded way. As a Palestinian therapist, I deeply value honoring the ways culture, identity, family, spirituality, and lived experiences shape how we move through the world and make meaning of our pain.

We all want to be healthier versions of ourselves and improve our overall wellbeing. Most of the time we tend to concentrate only on focusing on our physical health. While this is important it's not the only component of well-being we should be improving. To achieve lasting health we need to understand the importance of the body, mind and soul and how they work together to build our overall wellbeing. A healthy body keeps you well and active, a healthy mind keeps you focused and engaged, a healthy soul keeps you fulfilled and content.

I work with adults and couples experiencing emotional gridlock related to relationship conflict, trauma, anxiety, and substance abuse. You may repeat painful conversations, feel unable to compromise further, or feel that something must change, but nothing you try seems to work. Often, the problem is not a lack of communication, but difficulty tolerating what is being said, managing the emotions it brings up, and remaining grounded when the relationship feels uncertain. I help clients understand these repetitive patterns, confront what keeps them stuck, and develop the capacity to move forward with a sense of direction.

I am familiar with Middle Eastern cultures and can offer a hybrid of Arabic and English therapy.
You feel alone, misunderstood and anxious about showing up as your full, authentic self. You feel emotionally disconnected from loved ones because they don’t get you anymore. Or maybe they never did. You find yourself searching for meaning in life while trying to understand who you are and where you belong. You feel lost and terrified. Those around you don’t understand, nor do they see how much you’re struggling. You’ve become good at hiding how you really feel. Sometimes you feel others may be better off without you. You're close to giving up, but you want to make a change. You long to be understood and accepted, and to belong.
