Muslim Therapists in Bellevue, OH

I've been practicing for several years. I specialize in helping people overcome tough experiences like trauma, anxiety, and depression, as well as sort through feelings and handle life more smoothly. I've dealt with lots of folks who are juggling multiple issues at once. Our sessions will feel like a friendly conversation aimed at moving you forward! We are open to all, promising a safe and inclusive space! We invite everyone, regardless of their background or abilities, to be their true self. My job is to help you reach your personal healing objectives. We're flexible with schedules and offer both in-person and online sessions.

We all share human experience of facing challenges, seeking understanding, and desiring emotional well-being. I've lived with the challenges of navigating life between two cultures, enduring the complexities and confusion that often accompany such a unique upbringing. My lived experience ignited me to develop a skill set to effectively support other women, mothers and children of immigrants living in the diaspora. As a MENA therapist, I understand this step can be daunting. I hope you take comfort in me being here to support you on your journey and guide you towards discovering the inherent healing power within yourself.

Looking for a therapist to fulfill your needs is not an easy task when you are ready to face some difficult issues. Are you feeling overwhelmed, anxious, depressed or needing direction with personal or professional relationships? I will help to teach you the necessary tools to healthier relationships, greater mental well-being, becoming more efficient at home and work and finally have a more positive outlook on the future. These tools are priceless and when used can demonstrate almost immediate results.

Life can be overwhelming. We all need some dedicated time to nurture and heal. Why should someone hire a therapist rather than just talk through their problems with a friend or family member? First of all, if you have someone in your life to whom you feel comfortable opening up, that is awesome. Keep doing that. We all need these vital human connections. But a therapist brings something a little different to the table than a best friend.

Life can be challenging and confusing to navigate; it's okay to ask for help & you don't have to handle it on your own. Regardless of the circumstances that have led you to seek therapy, you have the right to be treated with respect, dignity, and without judgment while exploring and working through where you are now and where you want to be. I am a licensed independent social worker and I have experience working with adolescents, young adults, college students, and adults experiencing a variety of issues.

I have an undergraduate degree from Charleston Southern University in Sociology and a Masters in Social Work from Wesleyan University.

I am a licensed social worker with over 10 years of experience. I received my bachelor’s in social work as well as my master's of education as in intervention specialist at Mount Vernon Nazarene University.

Whether you're struggling with depression, anxiety, traumatic life experiences, PMDD or the challenges of postpartum, I'm here to support you at your pace, without judgment. Navigating our own mental health can feel lonely, but you're not alone. I understand the courage it takes to seek support. In our sessions, I'll tailor my approach to your unique experiences and strengths in a culturally-sensitive manner.

I received my Master of Education from The Ohio University, specializing in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and Rehabilitation Counseling. I worked at a community mental health center, focusing on behavior modification, anxiety, depression, suicidal ideation, OCD, borderline personality disorder, trauma-related disorders, and dual diagnosis. I’m equally passionate about self-discovery, spiritual exploration, and working with marginalized groups. I emphasize the importance of multicultural competency in my professional and personal life.

My ideal client is someone who has had relational trauma in their lives, and they are committed to work collaboratively with a Certified EMDR therapist, who is committed to supporting them in their personal journey towards their healing and growth. I have a passion for helping people with EMDR therapy. This combination has helped me succeed tremendously, and I feel very blessed and grateful to witness my clients move past their traumas towards leading more productive lives.
